Entries consider the leader's character and pre-war experience, their contributions to the war effort, and the war's impact on the rest of their lives. An assessment of their historical treatment puts their long-term reputations on the line, and results in a thorough revision of some leaders, a call for further study of others, and a reaffirmation of the accomplishments of the greatest leaders.United StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865BiographyDictionariesUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865HistoriographyDictionaries973.70922Ritter Charles F.1937-1672171Wakelyn Jon L1672172FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910824650403321Leaders of the American Civil War4035294UNINA
