  U.S. Grant gained distinction as one of our country greatest military leaders. As Commander of Union Forces in the West, he developed the Army of the Tennessee into an operation that many considered invincible. In the Virginia theater, he expertly adapted his troops and conducted a series of raw, murderous offensives which brought about the eventual surrender of Lee. These battles brought him recognition as a determined warrior and commander. Arnold draws upon diaries, letters, and firsthand accounts, offering new perspectives on one of the most remarkable military lives of the 19th century.
