| |  | | | In Brief
The definitive biography of Henry Halleck, President Abraham Lincoln's chief of staff. Ambrose challenges the standard interpretation of Halleck, arguing persuasively the Halleck has been greatly underrated as a war theorist. After reading this book, President Eisenhower asked Ambrose to become his personal biographer.
| | | | From The Publisher
Ambrose's fine book is sound, thoughtful, and scholarly. It also demonstrates an understanding of the high command in modern war and helps to explain the divergent attitudes of Halleck's contemporaries.
