Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the author's daily journal from November 1862 to December 1862, offering insights into the politics, administration, generalship, and military strategy surrounding the American Civil War during this crucial period. As a foreign observer of the US government in Washington DC, the author shares his frank opinions on the leading figures of the time, including President Lincoln, Secretary of State William Seward, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, and the military's top brass. His diary exposes the strategic blunders, administrative short-sightedness, and unfulfilled promises that led to the catastrophe at the Battle of Fredericksburg. The author's scathing critique extends to the Republican press for its fawning coverage of the government's disastrous failures and the Democratic opposition for hampering the war effort. However, the author reserves genuine admiration for the courage and resilience of the army, which fought valiantly despite incompetent leadership and a disheartening lack of support from the administration. The diary is a fascinating glimpse into the tumultuous heart of the Civil War, unveiling the complex web of human strengths and frailties that shaped the conflict's tragic course. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
