Abstract:
A modest and unassuming man, 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. Grant revolutionized military warfare by creating new leadership strategies and by integrating new technologies into classical military strategy. In this biography, Mosier reveals the man behind the military legend, showing how Grant's creativity and genius off the battlefield shaped him into one of our nation's greatest military leaders.--From publisher description.
