Leaders of the American Civil War: A Biographical and Historiographical DictionaryCharles F. Ritter, Jon L. Wakelyn Bloomsbury Academic, 1998年11月19日 - 465 頁 Covering both the great military leaders and the critical civilian leaders, this book provides an overview of their careers and a professional assessment of their accomplishments. Entries consider the leaders' character and prewar experiences, their contributions to the war effort, and the war's impact on the rest of their lives. The entries then look at how history has assessed these leaders, thus putting their longtime reputations on the line. The result is a thorough revision of some leaders' careers, a call for further study of others, and a reaffirmation of the accomplishments of the greatest leaders. |
