  Follow the development of Ulysses S. Grant, from an underachiever who dropped out of West Point to the supreme commander of the Union armies in the Civil War, and witness the evolution of his Army of the Tennessee from an inept volunteer militia into an aggressive, veteran, mobile-striking force. Based on diaries, letters, and first-hand accounts, this masterful study offers new perspectives on one of the most remarkable military lives of the nineteenth century.
