Management & Leadership

Harcourt, Brace. Jovanovich

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.

Generals in Blue and Gray (2 Volume Set)

Praeger

Prior to the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln had no experience in military service, but he had the advantages of a government structure and the remnants of an army in place. Jefferson Davis was a graduate of West Point, a veteran of the Mexican War, and a Secretary of war under the Pierce Administration, but he had to start from scratch to construct both a government and an army. This two-volume set uses biographical sketches of key generals on each side to examines the actions of Lincoln and Davis, as commanders-in-chief. Each volume contains more than twenty stand-alone biographical chapters that, if taken together, tell the story of the Civil War.

For all the heroism and military prowess shown on the battlefields of the Civil War, many of its key operations took place far from the front. Behind Enemy Lines exposes the hidden, often unknown initiatives of the War Between the States and brings their architects and executors to light.
