GrantS Victory
Two of the great themes of the Civil War are how Lincoln found his war-winning general in Ulysses Grant and how Grant finally defeated Lee. At Eastern theater battlefields from Bull Run to Gettysburg, Union commanders--whom Lincoln replaced after virtually every major battle--had struggled to best Lee, either suffering embarrassing defeat or failing to follow up success. Grant's Victory intertwines these two threads in a grand narrative that shows how Grant made the difference in the war.
