Reviews
Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Wooster's capsule biographies of 100 Civil War figures he deems "most influential" entertain as they inform. Wooster cast his net widely in selecting the 100. He gives high places to such obvious candidates as Lincoln, who is given pride of first place, and Lee, who comes in fourth, but he also includes noncombatants Clara Barton, Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, and Mary Todd Lincoln (whom he considers unjustly maligned) and various figures whose roles were distinctly negative, such as John Wilkes Booth and Henry Wirz, commandant of the infamous Andersonville, Ga., prison camp and "the only Confederate," Wooster says, "executed for war crimes." Economic players in the war, such as canned-meat tycoon Philip Armour, appear, too, indicating Wooster's effort to search out representative influences on every aspect of the war, not just the battlefield. One might wish for a few military leaders who did not hold independent commands but hardly for greater mastery of the capsule biography than Wooster shows. A high priority for the Civil War shelves.
