Grant faced challenges as grave and demanding as any in the life of the nation: civil war, a thwarted Reconstruction, the sordid early years of the Gilded Age, and the battle for African American freedom. Focusing on his greatest military achievement in Vicksburg, Mississippi, \u003cem\u003eGrant\u003c\/em\u003e offers fresh insight into a man whose life was marked by the extremes of achievement and tragedy, from the heights of Civil War success to the depths of public ire and extreme poverty. Alongside a granular depiction of the Union victory that reopened the Mississippi River, renowned Civil War historian James Lee McDonough restores the reputation of a man whose standing has been long diminished and provides a depiction of America during and after its bloody internecine conflict. \u003cem\u003eGrant\u003c\/em\u003e is a riveting portrait of one of our nation's most legendary leaders, through the lens of one of the Civil War's most decisive campaigns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Lee McDonough\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324130423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324130420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
