"Traditions and associations ... were all on the side of the old Whig Party" -- "I can do as well as anyone in both my studies and my military duties" -- Political realignment -- "A strong Democrat of the Stephen A. Douglas school" -- To kill secession -- "A new and strange position" -- Supreme command -- "You have no idea of the pressure brought to bear here" -- "What do you think of the science of generalship?" -- ThePeninsula campaign -- "I do not like the ... turn that affairs are taking" -- "He has acted badly" -- "To meet the necessities of the moment"-- "The most terrible battle"-- "It is my duty to submit to the presdt's proclamation & quietly continue doing my duty" -- The last campaign.

This biography of the controversial Union general George B. McClellan examines the influencesand political antecedents that shaped his behavior on the battlefield, behavior that so frustrated Lincoln and others in Washington that he was removed from his command soon after the Union loss at Antietam. Rather than take sides in the controversy, Ethan S. Rafuse finds in McClellan's politics and his desire to restore sectional harmony ample explanation for his actions. Rafuse sheds new light on the general who believed in the rule of reason and moderation, who sought a policy of conciliation with the South, and who wanted to manage the North's military resources in a way that would imposerational order on the battlefield.
