Trade paperback. Etat : Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 236, [8] pages. Illustrations. Maps, Bibliography. Index. Author's Biography. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The author served in the United States Air Force, retiring in 1981 with the rank of Colonel. He flew 225 combat missions in fighter-bomber aircraft during the Vietnam War. He closed his career with five years on the faculty of The National War College. He was an active participant with Dr. Jay Luvaas' Civil War group, nicknamed "The Army of the Cussewago". This book presents a different concept of the way that historical biographies may be written. In this book, the author, a former Director of Military History at The National War College, encapsulates the dominant personalities of the Civil War and many of the events into easily read pages. Despite its conciseness, the author analyzes Grant's attributes and failings and leads the reader through the legendary minefield of Grant myths to a clear understanding of this much maligned man. Thoroughly dissected are subjects as Grant's reputation as an alcoholic, his meteoric rise from despondent store clerk to Commanding General and the dark cloud of failure which hovered over him in civilian life. Blended with Grant's story are graphic descriptions of the bloody battles as well as his relations with Lincoln, Lee and others. N° de réf. du vendeur 73487
