Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lincoln as Commander-in-Chief
For various reasons it was not necessary for him to devote personal attention to the details of the other departments; but the operations of the army were in Lincoln's thoughts every waking hour for 1502 long days. Scarcely a day passed that he did not Visit the War Department or the houses of mcclellan or Halleck; and hardly, if ever, a day that Stanton or Halleck did not visit the White House. The responsibility of military success or failure was on Lincoln, and he knew it. There were the Secretary of War, the General - in-chief, the generals in the field, the Committee on the Conduct of the War, with Virile men like Ben Wade and Zach Chandler as members, but the final arbiter was Lincoln.
