by Edward H. Bonekemper III, Softcover

Reassessing Ulysses S. Grant's role as military leader, the author re-evaluates the general's reputation as a "butcher" and reveals Grant's true legacy as the military leader with the lowest casualty rates in the war--a record he maintained while still winning every battle.

“Ed Bonekemper slashes incisively through the thick fog of politicized history that surrounds Ulysses S. Grant to give us a long overdue reassesment of Grant’s unparalleled gifts as a military commander.” -John A. Barnes, author of Ulysses S. Grant on Leadership: Executive Lessons from the Front Lines
