McPherson, Simply the Best


Tried by War is an excellent examination of Lincoln as commander in chief. This volume, as many others by many authors, illustrates Lincoln's uncanny leadership abilities. His ability to compromise, tolerate and handle not only the momentous political forces but at the same time prosecute the bloodiest and perhaps, the most savage war in our history. An truly great and informative read, McPherson has once again triumphed.
