McClellan's War deferred

The Providence Journal has run its review of Ethan Rafuse's McClellan's War, which reminds me how late I am in posting my own ideas about this book

Says the Journal:
While not a complete biography, it offers the most comprehensive account of McClellan's prewar life and military career available, buttressed with a convincing analysis, and is sure to alter current perceptions and future assessments of the general's role in Civil War history.
I agree.
