Sample Book Insights:
#1 George McClellan was the commander of the Union forces during the Civil War. He was chosen to lead the army because he was believed to be a divinely appointed instrument to save the country. He had climbed life’s ladder with ease and without pause.
#2 McClellan was a great general, but he was also very successful in forging the Army of the Potomac into a fighting machine. However, he was not so successful in sustaining the admiration of official Washington.
#3 McClellan’s early months as commander of the Army of the Potomac were marked by his arrogance and his thin-skinnedness. He believed that the government was not giving him the resources he needed, and he didn’t want to risk losing the war by taking an offensive.
#4 The report that McClellan received from Pinkerton, the well-known Chicago private detective, estimated that the Confederate army had about 60,000 soldiers. However, his own officers in the field painted a different picture. They estimated that the Confederate army had only 50,000 soldiers.
