About this product

Product Information

Halleck originates nothing, anticipates nothing, to assist others; takes no responsibility, plans nothing, suggests nothing, is good for nothing. Lincoln's secretary of the navy Gideon Welles's harsh words embody the stereotype into which Union General-in-Chief Henry Wager Halleck has been cast by most historians since Appomattox. In Halleck: Lincoln's Chief of Staff, originally published in 1962, Stephen Ambrose challenges the standard interpretation of this controversial figure. Ambrose argues persuasively that Halleck has been greatly underrated as a war theorist because of past writers' failure to do justice to his close involvement with movements basic to the development of the American military establishment. He concedes that by all the touchstones used to judge great captains of the past, Halleck was a failure, but maintains he was nonetheless the 'Old Brains' of the Union Army in the time of the testing of the nation.

Very timely delivery, safely packaged and as described. Good communications. All good with this seller. Not so much with his chosen courier. I was home all day but no attempt to deliver in person, package was left, unannounced, in an exposed, unsafe, visible location right at my front fence line. Very unsatisfactory.

Be mindful that just because item says sent..this is not necessarily correct. You can think it's gone missing when it hasn't, as I did. My item said sent 2 1/2 weeks before it was posted when I know it only takes 2- 3 days tops when you're in the same state. Other than that, very happy with the purchase & seller responds quickly to communication.
