Book Description: Collins. 1 Paperback(s), 2008. soft. Book Condition: New. Two of Abraham Lincoln's most noted virtues—his extraordinary power as a communicator and his leadership during the Civil War—come together in this unique analysis by telecommunications guru Tom Wheeler, a close study of the commander in chief's use of the newly installed telegraph network during the Civil War. Wheeler captures Lincoln as he adapted his folksy rhetorical style to the telegraph, creating an intimate bond with his generals that would ultimately help win the war."The author relates that Lincoln personally sent out 1,000 telegrams during the Civil War, learning along the way what was or wasn't effective. Initially an intermittent user, Lincoln at times was so reliant on rapid communication that he spent nights at the War Department's telegraph office. Every Lincoln reader is familiar with this image, and Wheeler taps into this common memory by quoting Lincoln's telegraphic words on these occasions. Expanding on this footnote to history, Wheeler shows a Lincoln groping for a best-use of new technology and learning the limitations of the 'killer app'."—Booklist 227.
