Covering both the great military leaders and the critical civil
leaders during the American Civil War, this book provides an
overview of their careers and a professional assesment of their
accomplishments. Entries consider the leader's character and prewar
experience, their contributions to the war effort and the war's
impact on the rest of their lives. That's if they lived. The
entries then look at how history has assessed these leaders - thus
putting their longtime reputations on the line. The result is a
revision of some leaders' careers, a call for further study of
others and a reaffirmation of the accomplishments of the greatest
leaders. Analyzing the leaders historiographically, this book shows
how the leaders wanted to be remembered, how postwar memoirists and
biographers saw them, the verdict of early historians and how the
best modern historians have assessed their contributions. By
including a variety of leaders from both civilian and military
life, the book provides an understanding of the total war.
