In Lincoln on War, historian Harold Holzer gathers and interprets Lincoln's speeches, letters, memoranda, orders, telegrams, and casual remarks, organizing them chronologically and allowing readers to experience Lincoln's growth from an eager young Indian War officer to a middle-aged dove congressman to a surprisingly hardened and determined hawk as the Union's commander-in-chief. We observe a man willing to sacrifice life and treasure in unprecedented quantities, to risk wounding the pride of vain generals, and even to mislead the public if it meant the preservation of an unbreakable union of states, the destruction of slavery, and the restoration of America as an example to inspire the world. This volume covers strategy; tactics; the endless hiring, sustaining, motivating, and dismissal of commanders; military discipline; and military technology. Modern commanders-in-chief have repeatedly quoted Lincoln to justify their own wars, so it behooves us as citizens to know Lincoln's record well. From masterpieces such as the Gettysburg Address to lesser-known meditations on God's purposes, Lincoln on War is the first book to highlight exclusively Lincoln's sublime and enduring words on war.--From publisher description. 000446081 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000446081 60010 $$aLincoln, Abraham,$$d1809-1865$$xMilitary leadership$$vSources. 000446081 650_0 $$aExecutive power$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century$$vSources. 000446081 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1861-1865$$xCommunications$$vSources. 000446081 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1861-1865$$xMoral and ethical aspects$$vSources. 000446081 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1861-1865$$xCampaigns$$vSources. 000446081 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000446081 7001_ $$aHolzer, Harold. 000446081 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865.$$sWorks.
