The Most Complete Political Machine Ever Known by Paul Taylor
Examines the Union League movement. Often portrayed as a mere footnote to the US Civil War, the Union League's influence on the Northern home front was far more important and consequential than previously considered. The Union League and its various offshoots spread rapidly across the North, and in this first comprehensive examination of the leagues, Taylor discusses what made them so effective."There is much in this book to appreciateThe writing is clear and engaging. The research is careful and thorough. Any future assessment of the election of 1864, so critical to US victory, will have to include Taylor's work on the Union Leagues." — Civil War History
"Taylor provides a well-written, direct, and thoroughly researched summary of this movement." — Indiana Magazine of History
Paul Taylor is the author of six previous books pertaining to the American Civil War. His award-winning works include ""Old Slow Town”: Detroit during the Civil War (2013) and Orlando M. Poe: Civil War General and Great Lakes Engineer (Kent State University Press, 2008).
