The Generalship Of Ulysses S. Grant

"This analysis of one of America's greatest soldiers by one of Britain's foremost soldiers and military analysts of the twentieth century remains today one of the most incisive portraits of Grant's generalship ever written.

It brilliantly refutes the notion that Grant relied only on brute force to achieve his victories, demonstrating instead the mastery of mobility, surprise, cool judgment, and strategic coordination that made Grant the premier Civil War general."--James M.

McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom"A classic analysis of U.S.

Grant, Fuller's work makes a strong case for the general as the pre-eminent soldier of his era.

It is essential reading for students of Civil War military leadership."--Gary Gallagher, editor of Fighting for the Confederacy
