Description
“Halleck originates nothing, anticipates nothing, to assist others; takes no responsibility, plans nothing, suggests nothing, is good for nothing.” Gideon Welles's harsh words embody the stereotype of Union General-in-Chief Henry Wager Originally published in 1962, this book challenges the standard interpretation of this controversial figure.
Stephen E. Ambrose (1936-2002) was the author of many biographies and histories, including Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest; The Wild Blue: The Men and Boys Who Flew the B-24s over Germany; Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West; Upton and the Army; and a three-volume biography of Richard Nixon. It was after reading Halleck, Ambrose's first book, that Dwight Eisenhower asked Ambrose to write his biography.
