DESCRIPTION:
Grant and Robert E. . The author began his research sharing the generally held assumption that lee was a great general and Grant a clumsy 'butcher.' By the time Fuller completed his project, however, he regarded Grant as the greatest general of his age and one of the greatest strategists of any age. Lee remains one of the most readable histories of the Civil War. From the Back Cover First published fifty years ago, this analysis of the generalship of Ulysses S. Grant and Lee is a compelling study not only of two remarkable men but also of the nature of leadership and command in wartime
"Dispassionate and Thorough" according to Gary L. Misch. There are so many books on this subject that it's easy to start a fight from any point of view.

It took a British general and noted writer on military to reset the debate on both the much-maligned but successful Grant, and the sanctified failure, Lee. Lee was a good general but had many defects, exemplified at Gettysburg but noted elsewhere. Grant was a great one, never defeated and ultimately victorious. This short, but penetrating book, analyse.
