Williams, T. Henry
Lincoln and his generals T. Henry Williams - New York Alfred A Knopf 1952 - 363 p.
The pattern of command --
Two men of destiny --
'I can do it all' --
'You must act' --
'I give you all I can' --
Failure in the Peninsula --
'He has got the slows' --
Lincoln chooses new generals --
'Give us victories' --
'Is that all?' --
'Like a duck hit on the head' --
A modern command system --
'I begin to see it' --
Lincoln and the hour of victory.
Here is the Lincoln who, in loneliness and doubt, bore the whole burden of liquidating an archaic command system riddled with personal and political influence, and of forging a modern one superior to the high command of any other country at that time.
