Statesmen and Soldiers of the Civil War
Major-General Sir Frederick Maurice was a British knight and historian. His experience as a high official in the Great War led him to analyze the civilian leadership over military operations in modern war. Maurice examines the relationships between the presidents and generals in the American Civil War, taking into account communication styles, personality quirks, trust, and character. The dynamic personalities of the War, from Davis and Lee to Lincoln and Grant, make the study of enduring interest. Maurice concluded with a comparison between the leadership in the Civil War with the function of the British High Command in the Great War and modern military doctrine. The work was received with interest and acclaim by the scholars of the day.
