McPherson's Tried by War is a perfect pri mer . . . for anyone who wishes to under?stand the evolution of t he president's role as commander in chief. Few histo?rians write as well as McPherson, and none evoke the sound of battle with gre ater clarity. --The New York Times Book Review The Pulitzer Priz e-winning author reveals how Lincoln won the Civil War and invent ed the role of commander in chief as we know it As we celebrate the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth, this study by preeminent, be stselling Civil War historian James M. McPherson provides a rare, fresh take on one of the most enigmatic figures in American hist ory. Tried by War offers a revelatory (and timely) portrait of le adership during the greatest crisis our nation has ever endured. Suspenseful and inspiring, this is the story of how Lincoln, with almost no previous military experience before entering the White House, assumed the powers associated with the role of commander in chief, and through his strategic insight and will to fight cha nged the course of the war and saved the Union. Editorial Review s Review James M. McPherson's Tried by War is a perfect primer . . . for anyone who wishes to under?stand the evolution of the pr esident's role as commander in chief. Few histo?rians write as we ll as McPherson, and none evoke the sound of battle with greater clarity. There is scarcely anyone writing today who mines origina l ?sources more diligently. In Tried by War, McPherson draws on a lmost 50 years of research to present a cogent and concise narrat ive of how Lincoln, working against enormous odds, saved the Unit ed States of America. --The New York Times Book Review About the Author James M. McPherson is the George Henry Davis '86 Professo r of History Emeritus at Princeton University. He is the bestsell ing author of numerous books on the Civil War, including Battle C ry of Freedom, which won the Pulitzer Prize, For Cause and Comrad es, which won the prestigious Lincoln Prize, and Crossroads of Fr eedom. He lives in Princeton, NJ. Excerpt. ? Reprinted by permis sion. All rights reserved. On July 27, 1848, a tall, rawboned Whi g congressman from Illinois rose in the House of Representatives to challenge the Mexican War policies of President James K. Polk. An opponent of what he considered an unjust war, Abraham Lincoln mocked his own meager record as a militia captain who saw no act ion in the Black Hawk War of 1832. By the way, Mr. Speaker, did y ou know I am a military hero? said Lincoln. Yes, sir . . . I foug ht, bled, and came away after charges upon the wild onions and a good many struggles with the musketoes. Lincoln might not have i ndulged his famous sense of humor in this fashion if he had known that thirteen years later he would be- come commander in chief o f the U.S. Army in a war that turned out to be forty-seven times more lethal for American soldiers than the Mexican War. On his wa y to Washington in February 1861 as president- elect of a broken nation, Lincoln spoke in a far more serious manner. He looked bac k on another war, which had given birth to the nation that now se emed in danger of perishing from the earth. In a speech to the Ne w Jersey legislature in Trenton, Lincoln recalled the story of Ge orge Washington and his tiny army, which crossed the ice-choked Delaware River in a driving sleet storm on Christmas night in 17 76 to attack the Hessian garrison in Trenton. There must have bee n some- thing more than common that those men struggled for, said the president-elect. Something even more than National Indepen- dence . . . something that held out a great promise to all the pe ople of the world for all time to come. I am exceedingly anxious that the Union, the Constitution, and the liberties of the people shall be per- petuated in accordance with the original idea for which that struggle was made. Lincoln faced a steep learning cur ve as commander in chief in the war that began less th [Wellington, New Zealand] [Publication Year: 2009]
