Summary:
Thomas B. Allens expertise in military history and strategy is combined with Roger MacBride Allens knowledge of technology to reveal a lesser-known yet fascinating side of the 16th president of the United States. Their authoritative narrative reveals Lincoln as our nations first hands-on commander in chief, whose appreciation for the power of technology plays a critical role in the Norths Civil War victory over the less-developed South.
We meet Lincoln as he exchanges vital telegraph messages with his generals in the field; we witness his inspection of new ship models at the navy yard; we view the president target shooting with the designer of a new kind of rifle; and we follow Lincoln, the man of action, as he leads a daring raid to recapture Norfolk, Virginia. The books historic sweep also sets Abraham Lincoln in the context of his military era: We learn about the Norths Anaconda Plan and the Souths counter strategies and how the concept of total war replaced the old Napoleonic way of fighting. Listeners will come away with a rich sense of a leader who lived through one of the most exciting ages of technological and social change in America. Mr. Lincolns High-Tech War brings alive a time when the railroad brought soldiers to and from the battlefields, when hot-air balloons were used for surveillance, and when ironclad warships revolutionized naval warfare.
