Book Description
Historian Edward H. Bonekemper III offers a daring look at the man he describes as “the greatest Civil War general,” but one who has often been dismissed by historians – and by his own soldiers – as a “butcher.” Bonekemper argues, with groundbreaking research, that Grant had fewer casualties than most other American Civil War generals. What set him apart was that he always won in every theatre of the Civil War.
