Book Synopsis
The fraught relationship between Abraham Lincoln and George McClellan is well known, so much so that many scholars rarely question the standard narrative casting the two as foils. George Rable rethinks that stance, providing a new understanding of the interaction between the president and his leading wartime general.

Trade Review
George C. Rable has tackled one of the most controversial stories of the Civil War as only a master historian can. Sifting through generations of partisan bickering, he offers a crisp, candid view of the Lincoln-McClellan saga that accomplishes something truly remarkable. It proves fair to both men." - Zachery A. Fry, author of A Republic in the Ranks: Loyalty and Dissent in the Army of the Potomac
