Explores the productive friendships of such contrasting personalities as Grant and Sherman and Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, bringing to life the struggle between McClellan and Lincoln and Jefferson Davis and Joseph E. Johnston.

"Sherman, Grant, Jackson, Lee, and all the great commanders of the Civil War remain a source of enduring fascination. But, although their individual personalities and strategies are well-known, the truth is that no commander fights a war alone..." [from the Introduction]

The author's insights about the relationships between six major Civil War generals and their commanders-in-chief, as well with as their peers, is extremely valuable. Interesting also, is the partnership that developed between Grant and Admiral Porter that developed during the Vicksburg campaign. Great book, highly recommended for any CW collection!" [a private review]

"The thesis of this book is one that takes the reader beyond an elementary understanding of the Civil War. Glatthaar's main point throughout the book is that the types of relationships that the commanders in the upper echelons of the military structure had made a tangible difference in the progress and outcome of the war. I think Glatthaar proves his point very well; the chapters on the Lincoln-McClellan, Grant-Sherman, and Lincoln-Grant relationships were particularly convincing." [from a private review]
