Tried by War: How Lincoln Mastered Military Strategy
Tried by War: Abraham Lincoln as Commander in Chief
Think Lincoln was just a gentle emancipator in a top hat? Wrong. He was a ruthless military mastermind who practically invented modern warfare. The Constitution made him Commander in Chief. But it came with zero instructions on how to crush a rebellion. Professional generals stalled and made excuses. Politicians panicked. So a self-taught prairie lawyer took control. He devoured military strategy books. He ruthlessly fired incompetent generals. He weaponized technology and logistics. He completely redefined what a president can do in wartime. Based on the acclaimed book Tried by War by James M. McPherson. McPherson is a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and a legendary Civil War scholar. His work strips away the saintly myth of Lincoln. It reveals the raw, calculating war leader underneath. Uncover the hidden military genius of a desperate president. Learn how true leadership is forged in absolute chaos.
