Willims, T. Harry, — Lincoln and His Generals.

NY, Knopf, 1952. VG. Lincoln as the director of the Civil War. Red cloth binding, spine gilt lettering and decoration (faded). Sticker on front. Lincoln's place in the high command and his influence in developing a modern command system for this nation from the perspective of military developments since 1865 and the correctness of his decisions by the standards of modern war. Judged by modern standards Lincoln stands out as a great war president, probably the greatest in our history, and a great strategist, a better ne than any of his generals. He was in actuality as well as in title the commander in chief who by his larger strategy did more than Grant or any general to win the war for the Union. To my knowledge this is the only work that treats Lincoln as a war director from the perspective of modern war.
