Traces the history of the Civil War-era Joint Committee on the Conduct of War, focusing on the nature of its power and influence on military policy and discussing the ongoing controversy over whether the committee invigorated or hampered the Union war effort. Presents evidence, including examples of contact between Congress and the military, showing that the committee produced more harm than good as it polarized Congress and the army, limited strategic options, and inflated the reputations of incompetent soldiers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
