This Civil War biography examines the extraordinary life and legacy of one of America's most ingenious military minds.

Grant was also remarkably accomplished, Undefeated in battle, Grant led the Union to victory over the Confederacy during the Civil War, and ultimately became President of the reunited states.

In this compelling biography, military historian John 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.
