Synopsis
This is a readable and yet scholarly work which serves as both history and biography. "Incredible as it may seem to us, when Lincoln became president, there was still a question as to whether the president, even acting as commander in chief, had the power to determine military policy. It fell to Lincoln to create the role of commander in chief. This book tells how he did that and how, in so doing, he created the modern presidency."

See James McPherson's review in The Nation, in which he shows convincingly that this book is so full of factual errors that it cannot be taken seriously.
