Ulysses S. Grant: Triumph Over Adversity,1822-1865

by Brooks D. Simpson

4.0

About the book

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.

This is the best study of Grant's military career since Bruce Catton's two volumes; and on many matters it exceeds Catton.
