摘要

Historian William C. Davis has written an excellent dual biography of two men who shaped the American Civil War. At first glance, it may seem that the two could not be more different. Ulysses S. Grant was the Northern son of a tanner while Robert E. Lee was the Southern son of a ne'er-do-well Revolutionary War officer. Yet, the author succeeds in underlining key similarities. He portrays them as real men of their times while still explaining the origins of their traditional iconic images. This is a valuable book for those who have already studied tactical and operational levels of command yet need to become students of strategic thinking. These persons necessarily need to understand the philosophy of others in strategic decision-making positions, such as Grant and Lee. This is not a comprehensive view of each man's personal and professional lives. The focus is squarely on their moral worlds and illuminates how and why they made the decisions they did. Fortunately, the author writes of only the most salient points of each man's personal lives as they relate to leadership. This intelligent approach narrows the scope of the book, as well as effectively highlighting how individual ethics and perspectives shaped each man's life and decisions.

Lee)是一名内务井革命战争军官的南方儿子。然而,作者成功地强调了关键的相似点。他将他们描绘成那个时代的真实人物,同时仍在解释他们传统标志性图像的起源。对于那些已经学习过战术和作战指挥水平但又需要成为战略思维学生的人来说,这是一本有价值的书。这些人一定需要了解战略决策职位上其他人的哲学,例如格兰特和李。这不是对每个人的个人和职业生活的全面了解。重点直接放在他们的道德世界上,阐明他们如何以及为何做出自己的决定。幸运的是,作者只写了每个人与领导力相关的个人生活中最重要的要点。这种聪明的方法缩小了本书的范围,并有效地强调了个人道德和观点如何塑造每个人的生活和决定。
