Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Perhaps no other Union commander's legacy in the Civil War has been the subject of as much controversy as George B. McClellan's. Since the midpoint of this century, however, he has emerged as the complex general who, though gifted with administrative and organizational skills, was unable and unwilling to fight with the splendid army he had created. Thomas J. Rowland argues that this interpretation rests squarely within the context of general historical verdicts of the way in which the North eventually triumphed. Civil War scholars have found the quality of Union leadership in the early years of the war wanting, and that it was not until U.S. Grant and W.T. Sherman emerged that success was ensured. On the other hand, Grant and Sherman knew failure but were judged less harshly than was McClellan. In George B. McClellan and Civil War History, Rowland presents a framework in which early Civil War command can be viewed without direct comparison to that of the final two years.

“Sears has finally unraveled the mystique of this complex, brilliant Civil War general . . . A fascinating story” (James M. McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom). “Commander of the Northern army in the Civil War, Gen. George McClellan saw himself as God’s chosen instrument for saving the Union. Self-aggrandizing, with a streak of arrogant stubbornness, he set himself above President Lincoln, whom he privately called ‘the Gorilla.’ To ‘the young Napoleon,’ as McClellan’s troops dubbed him, abolition was an ‘accursed doctrine.’ Fond of conspiracy plots, he insisted that the Lincoln administration had traitorously conspired to set him up for military defeat. Although he constantly anticipated one big, decisive battle that would crush the South, he squandered one military opportunity after another, and, if Sears is correct, he was the worst strategist the Army of the Potomac ever had. Based on primary sources, letters, dispatch books, diaries, newspapers, this masterly biography is an astonishing portrait of an egotistical crank who could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.” —Publishers Weekly “Engagingly written and thoroughly researched, Sears’s persuasive critique is the best and most complete biography of this controversial general.” —Library Journal “The best biography of McClellan ever published. Sears uses intensive research, including new material, to document the tormented, wasted military career of a talented man . . . The enigma of McClellan has never been explained so well . . . Historians should be grateful.” —The Washington Post Book World

Excerpt from McClellan's Military Career, Reviewed and Exposed: The Military Policy of the Administration Set Forth and Vindicated It is a fact singularly characteristic of General McClellan that having won whatever reputation he enjoys in the field of war, he is now running on this reputation as the Presidential candidate of a party whose creed is peace and whose platform casts contumely on the very war of which their nominee had for upwards of a year the chief conduct. When we consider, however, that all his fame is founded on defeats, it is not wonderful that his hopes should still be bound up in defeats. General McClellan's Presidental prospects brighten just in proportion as our soldiers suffer disaster, and he will only be certain of being President of our country when it is certain we have no country at all. There is no object more calculated to claim the sympathy of a generous people than a defeated general; and unless his failure has been associated with circumstances of personal turpitude he is pretty sure, sooner or later, to receive that sympathy. Machiavelli, that subtle observer, points out that the Romans never blamed their unsuccessful commanders, esteeming that to a high-minded man the mortification of defeat was of itself punishment enough. Sertorius, Mithridates and William of Orange were habitually unsuccessful generals, and yet history has not chosen to cast contumely on their names: on the contrary, the memory of their failures is covered up by the remembrance of qualities of mind that deserved, if they could not command, success. It has been left for General McClellan, however, to claim not merely the sympathy of his countrymen (which would have been accorded him had his conduct been marked by the modesty of a soldier) but their admiration and highest rewards for a series of exploits in which the country suffered only disaster. General McClellan's candidacy for the Presidency does not begin with the nomination at Chicago. While his soldiers were being struck down by thousands with the fevers of the Chickahominy, the fever of the White House struck him. There are a thousand things both in his military career and in his subsequent conduct that can only be explained on this theory. No doubt he would have been glad to have founded his Presidential pretensions on success; but as this was not possible he early conceived a characteristic change of base: he determined to found them on defeat. He could not make failures triumphs, but he would adventure a flanking movement in the field of politics more bold than any he ever essayed on the field of war: he would throw the burden of all his failures upon an Administration which thwarted ail his brilliant plans and ensured defeat where he had organized victory! This desperate enterprise he has attempted to carry though in a document published a few months ago, which, under the guise of a "Report," is really an elaborate political manifesto. Had General McClellan not been a prospective candidate for the Presidency, it would be difficult to bring his so-called "Report" into any known category. If it is less than a Report it is also more than a Report. It is less than a Report because numerous dispatches of the time are omitted from this collection. It is also more than strictly military Report, because its basis is an elaborate historical, and argumentative recital, in which such dispatches as are used by General McClellan are inlaid.
