In this book, David Work examines Lincoln's policy of appointing political generals to build a national coalition to fight and win the Civil War. Work follows the careers of sixteen generals through the war to assess their contributions and to ascertain how Lincoln assessed them as commander-in-chief. Eight of the generals began the war as Republicans and eight as Democrats. Some commanded armies, some regiments. Among them were some of the most famous generals of the Union - such as Francis P. Blair Jr., John A. Dix, John A. Logan, James S. Wadsworth - and others whose importance has been obscured by more dramatic personalities.
