Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the political landscape surrounding John C. Calhoun, an ambitious and controversial Secretary of War from the mid-19th century. The author delves into Calhoun's clashes with factions in Congress, particularly the "Radicals," who challenged his fiscal authority and proposed reductions in the military budget. Calhoun's grand ambitions, such as vying for the presidency, are examined alongside his questionable economic policies, exposed through official documents and critical analysis. The book also explores instances of cruel punishments and abuses of power within the army during Calhoun's tenure, highlighting the tensions between the desire for military readiness and humane treatment of soldiers. Ultimately, this work provides a thorough analysis of Calhoun's impact on the political and military climate of the time, revealing the consequences of unchecked ambition in the pursuit of power and the importance of checks and balances within government.
