The Man Who Saved the Union: Ulysses Grant in War and Peace
The Man Who Saved the Union: Ulysses Grant in War and Peace
From the two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, bestselling historian, and author of Our First Civil War--a masterful biography of the Civil War general and two-term president who saved the Union twice, on the battlefield and in the White House. - "[A] splendidly written biography ... Brands does justice to one of America's most underrated presidents." --Dallas Morning News
Ulysses Grant emerges in this masterful biography as a genius in battle and a driven president to a divided country, who remained fearlessly on the side of right. He was a beloved commander in the field who made the sacrifices necessary to win the war, even in the face of criticism. He worked valiantly to protect the rights of freed men in the South. He allowed the American Indians to shape their own fate even as the realities of Manifest Destiny meant the end of their way of life. In this sweeping and majestic narrative, bestselling author H.W. Brands now reconsiders Grant's legacy and provides an intimate portrait of a heroic man who saved the Union on the battlefield and consolidated that victory as a resolute and principled political leader.
