Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This volume uses biographical sketches of twenty-one Union generals to tell the story of the Civil War and examine the implementation of Northern strategy. Among these generals are prominent figures like Ulysses S. Grant, George McClellan, and William T. Sherman, as well as Daniel Sickles, whose actions sparked intense controversy at Gettysburg, and the lesser known John McClernand, a congressman who lobbied for his own appointment. In Wilmer Jones's accounts, which focus on character, personality, leadership ability, military skill, and politics, each general comes starkly to life.

Nota de la solapa:

"A constellation of delights. Here assembled are the major military minds and actors of the Civil War, warts, glories and all. . . . "Generals in Blue and Gray" is a very good collection of the stories of the most important men who determined the course and outcome of the Civil War." --Military Heritage magazine. "Jones's prose is crisp and engaging, and each chapter stands on its own or can be read as part of the whole." --Choice
