20 b/w photos 6 x 9 * Covers a previously ignored aspect of military leadership * Profiles the command styles of Generals Lee, Sherman, McClellan, and Grant Civil War generals had both special and personal staffs to help them with their duties. The use of special staff-quartermasters, commissaries, ordnance chiefs, and engineers-has been well chronicled. But little attention has been paid to how generals utilized (or underutilized) their personal staff-the chiefs of staff, adjutants general, and aides-de- camp. Drawing on Generals Lee, Sherman, McClellan, and Grant as examples, this groundbreaking study provides a new perspective not only on the Civil War, but also on the tradition of military leadership. R. Steven Jones is an assistant professor of history at Southwestern Adventist University and has been published in magazines such as Civil War History. This is his first book.
