Lincoln and his Generals

By: T. Harry Williams

"Lincoln and His Generals" is an absolute must for anyone who aspires to a true understanding of the American Civil War and how it was fought, especially from the high command perspective on the Union side. Poring over the orders that passed back and forth between Lincoln and his top commanders, Williams paints a highly opinionated portrait of Lincoln's efforts to find the commander who will at last win the war. Williams' describes each General's positive and negative traits and actions. The portrait of McClellan is extensive - and unforgiving.
