From the best-selling author of Gettysburg, a multilayered group biography of the commanders who led the Army of the Potomac “A masterful synthesis . . . A narrative about amazing courage and astonishing gutlessness . . . It explains why Union movements worked and, more often, didn’t work in clear-eyed explanatory prose that’s vivid and direct.” — Chicago Tribune The high command of the Army of the Potomac was a changeable, often dysfunctional band of brothers, going through the fires of war under seven commanding generals in three years, until Grant came east in 1864. The men in charge all too frequently appeared to be fighting against the administration in Washington instead of for it, increasingly cast as political pawns facing down a vindictive congressional Committee on the Conduct of the War. President Lincoln oversaw, argued with, and finally tamed his unruly team of lieutenants as the eastern army was stabilized by an unsung supporting cast of corps, division, and brigade generals. With characteristic style and insight, Stephen Sears brings these courageous, determined officers, who rose through the ranks and led from the front, to life and legend.    “[A] massive, elegant study . . . A staggering work of research by a masterly historian.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Audio Book Lincoln's Lieutenants: The High Command of the Army of the Potomac with Free EASY Reading!

This book is intended as a counterpoint to Freeman’s three volume Lee’s Lieutenants: A Study in Command , and to a certain extent it is. However, readers who expect this book to conform closely to that one will be, I think, somewhat disappointed. There are two reasons for that neither having anything to do with the quality of this book. Freeman had three entire volumes to cover the biographies of his subjects in great detail, Sears has only one. There was very little political dimension to Lee’s command decisions, while there was some need to match commanders to the states of the troops in their command, I can’t recall a single instance of Davis or the Confederate Congress interfering with one of Lee’s personnel decisions. Sears’ book is replete with such interference from Lincoln and Congress and it takes up a fair amount of space. At the end of the day, this book was simply outstanding. Even after having read about eh Civil War for more than 40 years man and boy, I learned an awful lot from this book. It is simply the best ACW book I’ve read since, I guess, McPherson’s Battle Cry of Freedom.
