A victor, not a butcher Ulysses S. Grant's overlooked military genius

Open All Close All

http://schema.org/description

  • "Ulysses S. Grant is often dismissed as a simple butcher of his troops. In fact, Grant was an inspired military leader with a genius for issuing lucid order, maneuvering his troops adroitly, and making excellent use of his staff ... This [volume] explores the paradoxes of Grant's early life and deals forthrightly with his struggles in civilian life - particularly the allegations of alcoholism and other factors that led his contemporaries (as well as historians of later generations) to underestimate him.-Dust jacket."
