Sumario:"This account of the politics and economics of the giant military supply project in the North reconstructs an important but little known part of Civil War history. Drawing on new and extensive research in army and business archives, Mark R. Wilson offers a fresh view of the wartime North and the ways in which its economy worked when the Lincoln administration, with unprecedented military effort, moved to suppress the rebellion." "Students of the American Civil War will welcome this fresh study of military-industrial production and procurement on the home front - long an obscure topic."--Jacket.
