Controversies And Commanders follows the Army of the Potomac through the course of the Civil War, painting a remarkable portrait of key incidents and personalities that influenced the outcome of our nation's greatest cataclysm: the accusations of disloyalty against General Charles Stone; the court-martial of Fitz John Porter; the Lost Order at Antietam; the revolt of the Potomac army's high command; the notorious General Dan Sickles, who shot his wife's lover outside the White House; the murderous Kilpatrick-Dahlgren raid on Richmond; the firing of corps commander Gouverneur Warren on the eve of victory; and the much maligned Generals McClellan (justifiably) and Hooker (not so justifiably).
