![]() This was not a war to be won by static ideals and romanticism. Though Davis never lacked for spirit and dedication, his handicaps were severe. Lincoln’s use of vast resources is brilliantly contrasted to Davis’s valiant struggle for political and economic stability in a hopelessly fragmented and underdeveloped south. His determination and uncanny vision of the destiny of the country and its people far transcended the plaguing tensions, fears, and frustrations of his cabinet and Congress. In the north Lincoln remained resolute in the belief that a house divided against itself could not stand. Through the kaleidoscope tone and temper of the struggle, two men, different in stature, but similar in dedication to their awesome tasks, grappled with the burden of being leaders both in politics and war. ![]() This is an eloquent study of the bitterest years of the war when death slashed the country with a brutality unparalleled in the history of the United States. ![]() The final volume of Bruce Catton's monumental Centennial History of the Civil War traces the war from Fredericksburg through the succeeding grim and relentless campaigns to the Courthouse at Appomattox and the death of Lincoln. ![]()

This limits the micro-multinationals from taking full advantage of technology, considering the limited resources available to them for overseas deployment.
