We often laugh when we think of George McClellan. We enjoy making McClellan the Union's whipping boy. McClellan, himself, brings little sympathy to his cause. Full of bravado, often arrogant, self-righteous and sometimes insubordinate, McClellan is the general we like to dislike. We chuckle when he claimed, following the first invasion of the North, that it was the second time he had saved the Union.

Yet, when Robert E. Lee was asked after the war who was the best U.S. general he faced, he responded with George McClellan. 

Was McClellan incompetent and ineffective as history has branded him? Dennis Frye responds in latest book, Antietam Shadows: Mystery, Myth & Machination. Come discover whether McClellan, indeed, out generaled General Lee.
