Generals of the Civil War; The Civil War Library

About 1,000 men from North and South were promoted to one of the several grades of general's rank during the Civil War. Some, like Lee and Grant, were brilliant. Others never led in battle but served well as administrators. A few proved to be utterly incompetent, while others of capability remained -- and remain -- unsung. In a highly readable text, with the additional benefit of numerous contemporary illustrations, and photographs of surviving military memorabilia, the book makes a valuable contribution to the literature concerning this convulsive event in American history.Davis, William C. is the author of 'Generals of the Civil War; The Civil War Library' with ISBN 9780792455554 and ISBN 079245555X.
