Publisher's Synopsis
The American Civil War: a war so chaotic that half the generals didn't know what they were doing, political leaders changed their minds every other week, and one battle plan was famously lost because someone dropped it in a field. Ten Lessons from the American Civil War isn't your typical history book-it's a witty, insightful look at the key takeaways from a war that shaped a nation (and provided endless examples of how not to run things).
Ever wondered why wars drag on longer than expected? Why bad leadership can sink even the best plans? Why public opinion can shift faster than a politician's stance on taxes? This book breaks it all down with a mix of sharp storytelling and humor. Whether you love history or just enjoy watching people make spectacular mistakes, these ten lessons will change the way you see the Civil War-and maybe even modern America.
