General George B. McClellan, the self-styled American Napoleon, is
one of the most controversial figures of the American Civil War.
General-in-chief of the entire Union army at one point, he led the
Army of the Potomac through the disaster at Antietam Creek, was
subsequently dismissed by Lincoln, and then ran against him in the
1864 presidential campaign. This collection of McClellan's candid
letters about himself, his motivations, and his intentions reveals
much fresh information on the military operations and political
machinations he was involved with, and sheds new light on his
complex personality. Stephen Sears, a Civil War expert,
Prize-winning author, and biographer of McClellan, here lets this
once-removed and now notorious commander speak of himself,
providing us with an important first-hand view of what went on
behind the scenes of America's greatest and most awful war.
