摘要

As David Von Drehle describes it, 1862 was arguably the most perilous year in our nation's history and the year of Abraham Lincoln's "rise to greatness." The author focuses exclusively on that year, when the president lost his 11-year-old son Willie to typhoid, took command of the Union Army and turned the tide of the war. As 1862 began, the federal government seemed overwhelmed, the U.S. Treasury was broke and the Union's leading general, George B. McClellan, was gravely ill. As a frustrated Lincoln described the situation to Quartermaster General Montgomery Meigs: "The people are impatient; [Secretary of the Treasury Salmon E] Chase has no money and tells me he can raise no more; the general of the army has typhoid fever. The bottom is out of the tub. What shall I do?" In contrast, the Confederacy-with expert military leadership and an economy that appeared to be booming-seemed inexorably on the road to victory.

McClellan）身患重病。正如沮丧的林肯向军需长蒙哥马利·迈格斯描述的情况：“人民不耐烦； [财政司令司司长E]蔡斯没有钱，告诉我他不能再筹集资金；陆军将军患有伤寒。底部在浴缸外面。我该怎么办？”相比之下，同盟国拥有专业的军事领导和蓬勃发展的经济，似乎在通往胜利的道路上势不可挡。
