"As war swept across Europe in 1940, the idyllic life of Fey von Hassell seemed a world away from conflict. The daughter of Hitler's ambassador to Italy, Fey lived with her Italian aristocrat husband in a castle on an estate in northern Italy. But with Fascism approaching its zenith, Fey's peaceful existence with her two young sons is threated [sic] when her father and husband make the difficult decision to resist the Nazis--a choice that maroons Fey alone in Nazi-occupied Italy and leads to a foiled plot to kill them F̈ührer, bringing the Gestapo to Fey's doorstep. Suffused with Catherine Bailey's signature atmospheric prose, 'A Castle in Wartime' tells the unforgettable story of the bravery and fortitude of one family who collectively and individually sacrificed everything to resist the Nazis from within." - page [4] of cover

In this book, David Work examines Lincoln's policy of appointing political generals to build a national coalition to fight and win the Civil War. Work follows the careers of sixteen generals through the war to assess their contributions and to ascertain how Lincoln assessed them as commander-in-chief. Eight of the generals began the war as Republicans and eight as Democrats. Some commanded armies, some regiments. Among them were some of the most famous generals of the Union--such as Francis P. Blair Jr., John A. Dix, John A. Logan, James S. Wadsworth--and others whose importance has been obscured by more dramatic personalities. As the war proceeded, the value of the political generals became a matter of serious dispute. Could politicians make the shift from a political campaign to a military one? Could they be trusted to fight? Could they avoid destructive jealousies and the temptations of corruption? And with several of the generals being Irish or German immigrants, what effect would ethnic prejudices have on their success or failure? Work finds that Lincoln's policy was ultimately successful, as these generals provided effective political support and made important contributions in military administration and on the battlefield. Although several of them proved to be poor commanders, others were effective in exercising influence on military administration and recruitment, slavery policy, and national politics.
