Summary: A welcome addition to library Civil War collections
Review: Grant: The Man Who Won The Civil War by British military historian Robin Neillands is the true story of Ulysses S. Grant, an undistinguished Army officer who earned his place in history by becoming commander-in-chief of the Union Armies and bringing the Civil War to an end with the Confederacy's defeat. Examining the qualities that enabled Grant to succeed where so many before him had failed - such as picking skilled and loyal subordinates and standing by them, and focusing resolutely upon the right aim or object - Grant: The Man Who Won The Civil War is a resounding, well-researched narrative history, distinguished by its insight into the external and internal forces that motivated a true leader. A welcome addition to library Civil War collections.
