A review by animepops
Tried by War: Abraham Lincoln as Commander in Chief by James M. McPherson

4.5

There are collection of books on the subject of Lincoln could fill entire librearies just by themselves. This book is semi-unique however and one of the most enjoyable history non-fiction books I have had the chance to consume. It focuses purly on his role as a military commander in a new era of modern war fighting such as the effect of Radio and being the first time a Head of State could issue direct orders to the battlefield commanders. Very interesting stuff.
