George B. Mcclellan
George B. McClellan: The Young Napoleon is a full biography of the Union general who created the Army of the Potomac and repeatedly clashed with Abraham Lincoln over strategy. Sears follows McClellan from engineering and railroad work to command in the Civil War, examining his organisational gifts, caution in the field, political ambitions and deep mistrust of the administration. The book reassesses both his military record and the personality that made him one of the war’s most controversial commanders.
