Bowery is an aviation officer for the U.S. Army, and a former military history instructor at West Point. He draws on his personal experience in military command in this study of leadership in the Civil War. The text focuses on the Overland Campaign of 1864 and its key generals, Lee and Grant, each facing challenges that stretched, and often exceeded, their leadership abilities. While the text will appeal to Civil War buffs, Bowery also envisions that all types of leaders will find in it a number of useful lessons through its analysis of the daily struggles, successes, and failures of these two fascinating historical figures.
