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.
