Synopsis

This book presents the findings of the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War, a group tasked with investigating the Union war effort during the American Civil War. The report focuses on the Western Department under the command of General John C. Fremont. The committee's investigation uncovered irregularities in the procurement of supplies, excessive spending on fortifications, delayed reinforcement of threatened Union positions, and questionable uses of authority, including Fremont's controversial emancipation proclamation. The report also examines the military and political context in which Fremont operated and provides valuable insights into the challenges and complexities of managing a vast and chaotic war effort.
