Ulysses S. Grant is often accused of being a cold hearted butcher of his troops. In Ulysses S. Grant: A Victor, Not a Butcher, historian Edward H. Bonekemper III proves that Grant’s casualty rates actually compared favorably with those of other Civil War generals. His perseverance, decisiveness, moral courage, and political acumen place him among the greatest generals of the Civil War indeed, of all military history. Bonekemper proves that it was no historical accident that Grant accepted the surrender of three entire Confederate armies and won the Civil War. Bonekemper ably silences Grant’s critics and restores Grant to the heroic reputation he so richly deserves.

praise for Bonekemper’s
ULYSSES S. GRANT: A VICTOR, NOT A BUTCHER

?Although I am a great admirer of Robert E. Lee, I also admire the exciting and controversial historical analysis of Lee and Grant that Ed Bonekemper has created. How Robert E. Lee Lost the Civil War was outstanding, and Ulysses S. Grant: A Victor, Not a Butcher is even better.” ?Edwin R. Baldridge, Professor Emeritus, Muhlenberg College

?Ed Bonekemper slashes incisively through the thick fog of politicized history that surrounds Ulysses S. Grant to give us a long overdue reassessment of Grant’s unparalleled gifts as a military commander.”
