General Grant brought the Civil War to a victorious close--although at the beginning, he was a "shabby nobody who could hardly make a living". He had no influence with those at the top--but after four years of war, he had risen to first place in the nation's military establishment--he had amazing success at winning battles. His is an interesting life--and he remained fair and generous in war and in peace. This is one of those rare books that successfully recast our impression of an iconic historical figure and gives us a three-dimensional portrait of Grant the man-husband, father, leader, writer. 864 pages. 8vo. 2016 Random House.
