Description

National Endowment for the Humanities Survey reveals that only 406 of 700 college seniors were able to answer correctly in which half-century the Civil War took place. This distressing statistic is not only an indictment of the nation's educational system, it also points an accusing finger at the textbooks & histories which line the shelves of libraries & bookstores. This book will not reform our school program. It will, however, present a different concept of the way that historical biographies may be written. In this book, the author, a retired Air Force colonel & former Director of Military History at The National War College, encapsulates the dominant personalities of the Civil War & many of the events into just 245 easily read pages. Despite its conciseness, the author analyzes Grant's attributes & failings & leads the reader through the legendary minefield of Grant myths to a clear understanding of this much maligned man. Thoroughly dissected are subjects as Grant's reputation as an alcoholic, his meteoric rise from despondent store clerk to Commanding General & the dark cloud of failure which hovered over him in civilian life. Blended with Grant's story are graphic descriptions of the bloody battles as well as his relations with Lincoln, Lee & others.
