Title: revisionist historian collects GBMcC papers to suit his purp
Review: I feel that Mr. Sears book is just another example of what historians can do with selected facts.In brief, to write, in his comments between chapters, such rubish, shows whatkind of a historian he is.The bottom line is that either McClellan was right,(the only General R.E. Lee's daughter said he ever feared, and R.E. Lee when asked who was the greatest Union General, he said McClellan by a longshot,) and he could have ended the Civil War in its first year (with some well deserved help from Lincoln) or else Lincoln the subject of so many myths was right.But then, how many remember that he did the same to the General who won at Gettysburgh, fired him. Yet Gettysburgh is part of our heritage.I am hoping to write a book to set the record straight, not depending on todays' revisionist historiaans but original texts, books articles written by those who survived to tell it as it was.
Is the review positive or negative?
