Synopsis

Featuring a foreword by Series Editor, Wesley Clark, this book brings to life the brilliant military strategist, Ulysses S. Grant. A modest and unassuming man, Ulysses S. Grant never lost a battle, leading the Union to victory over the Confederacy during the Civil War, and ultimately becoming President of the reunited states. Yet, Grant was more than a military genius and politician: he was a gifted writer with an artistic bent, his memoirs being one of the great classics of American literature. In this compelling biography, John Mosier reveals the man behind the military legend, showing how Grant's creativity and genius off the battlefield shaped him into one of America's greatest generals who continues to influence military leaders today.
