The book covers Ulysses S. Grant while being appointed by Lincoln to bring and end to the Civil War, which he eventually accomplished, but not without pain and strife, seeing thousands of Americans die on the battlefield until the fighting was finally over. a stern leader, Grant didn't take to losing very easily as historical accounts can attest. This book by historian Bruce Catton is one of the best biographical histories of the Civil War under Grant's leadership and as this book is in fine condition for being over 50 years old, I have priced it accordingly.
