Description

In the first comprehensive biography of Halleck, Marszalek recreates the life of a man of enormous achievement who bungled his most important mission. Unable to produce victory for the Union forces, he saw his power become subsumed by Grant’s emergent leadership, a loss that paved the way for Halleck’s path to obscurity.
