George Rable: Conflict of Command

About

Author George C. Rable talked about his new book, “Conflict of Command: George McClellan, Abraham Lincoln and the Politics of War” with Library specialists Michelle Krowl and Lara Szypszak. Rable talks about how he evaluated the military and political interactions of President Abraham Lincoln and General George B. McClellan during the Civil War, how his interpretations help balance the familiar hero-villain dichotomy in evidence in Civil War historiography, how he approached his research, and how his normal methodologies with regard to archival research were impacted by the closure of libraries during the pandemic.
