Shanks set out to show the great Union commanders of the Civil War not on parade but in undress uniform. Drawing on what he saw in camp and on campaign as a correspondent, he sketches their habits, quirks and tempers, with stories of battles the official reports left out and glimpses of the young McClellan and others before the war.
Lively, anecdotal history for Civil War readers who want the generals as men. Download the free EPUB.
