In "Lincoln's Generals," Gabor S. Boritt and a team of
distinguished historians examine the interaction between Abraham
Lincoln and his five key Civil War generals: McClellan, Hooker,
Meade, Sherman, and Grant, providing fresh insight into this mixed
bag of officers and the president's tireless efforts to work with
them. The president's relationship with his generals was never
easy. Stephen W. Sears underscores McClellan's perverse obstinacy
as Lincoln tried to drive him ahead. Pulitzer Prize-winner Mark E.
Neely Jr. sheds new light on the president's relationship with
Hooker, arguing that he was wrong to push the general to attack at
Chancellorsville. Boritt writes about Lincoln's prickly
relationship with the victor of Gettysburg, "old snapping turtle"
George Meade. Michael Fellman reveals the political stress between
the White House and Sherman, a staunch conservative who did not
want blacks in his army but who was crucial to the war effort. And
John Y. Simon looks past the legendary camaraderie between Lincoln
and Grant to reveal the tensions in their relationship. These
authors take us inside the personalities and relationships that
shaped the course of the nation's most costly war.
