A compelling biography of the Union general challenges stereotypes of Grant as a drunk and a bumbler, focusing on his brilliant military career and his political evolution into a man who came to see the war as the necessary destroyer of slavery.
The book that nuanced the current wave of Grant hagiography...the best of the breed in terms of research and analysis.
