Grant made famous the expression "unconditional surrender," which is how most of his battles ended - for his opponents. A hard-drinking soldier in a hard-drinking army, he led the Federal armies to victory, forcing Robert E Lee to surrender the main Confederate army in 1865. Robin Neillands' concise biography takes us from Grant's disastrous pre-war record to his sudden emergence as a general of genius. This is a study of an uncommon commander in a time of great peril. (Note: does not cover his years after the Civil War and his term as president).This book is being published in April 2004 in the UK by Weidenfeld & Nicolson Military, a division of Cassell, but as a trade paperback.
