Beschreibung:
Co-winner of the 2009 Lincoln Prize, Lincoln and His Admirals, provides an original account of how Lincoln managed the men who ran the naval side of the Civil War, and how the activities of the Union Navy affected the course of the war. Abraham Lincoln began his presidency as well as the war with virtually no knowledge of naval affairs, lacking both exposure and interest given his upbringing in the Midwest. Despite his inexperience, he quickly came to preside over the largest national armada of the century, not eclipsed until World War I. Craig L. Symonds demonstrates the larger political and diplomatic impact of naval operations and offers fresh insight into Lincoln's overall strategic vision, showing how it ultimately determined the outcome of the war and the young nation's fate.
