Since it was first published in 1952; Lincoln and His Generals has remained one of the definitive accounts of Lincoln’s wartime leadership. In it T. Harry Williams dramatizes Lincoln’s long and frustrating search for an effective leader of the Union Army and traces his transformation from a politician with little military knowledge into a master strategist of the Civil War. Explored in depth are Lincoln’s often fraught relationships with generals such as McClellan; Pope; Burnside; Hooker; Fremont; and of course; Ulysses S. Grant. In this superbly written narrative; Williams demonstrates how Lincoln’s persistent “meddling†into military affairs was crucial to the Northern war effort and utterly transformed the president’s role as commander-in-chief.

This was one the best books not only because of what they did but the Dad taking his 15/16 year old daughter on three big outdoor survival trips in the middle of nowhere in Alaska was priceless! I loved his style and the subject matter I could hardly put the book down. You probably won`t see many survival books that a young female teenager is featured in the book and how she and her Dad`s relationship worked in this book. I hope this books sells well because it is a total classic read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyed this bookBy Bonnie SteinriedeBeing from Alaska; I truly enjoyed this book. The author did a very good job in accurately describing the incredible beauty of Alaska and the hardship that folks living in the Bush face. It was a bit difficult reading the graphic depiction of snaring animals in traps as I am not a fan of this practice. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in traveling the backcountry of Alaska as the author did a very good job of communicating the necessity of being prepared. Conditions in Alaska are not like any other state and people die here every year because they are not prepared for the harsh environment.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great readBy Robert G. KennedyGreat read; but I love the Alaskan wilderness. The growth of the teenage daughter/father relationship was particularly enjoyable for me; so even if you don't like "that awe"; give this book a try.
