Rebellion

Grant
Jean Edward Smith. This comprehensive biography reviews the career of
Grant as the general-in-chief - when Grant revolutionized modern warfare -
and argues convincingly that President Grant - who guided the nation
through the post-Civil War era, oversaw Reconstruction in the South and
enforced the freedoms of African-American citizens - is greatly
underrated. It was the same strength of character that made him successful
on the battlefield, the author asserts, that also characterized his years
in the White House. 781 pgs., 54 B&W photos, 6"x 9¼", sfbd.
