Throughout history, General Ulysses S. Grant has been unfairly maligned, painted as a crude butcher of troops who only won the Civil War through sheer brute force and numbers. Yet author Edward H. Bonekemper III proves this to be an unfair–and inaccurate–characterization of Grant in the new paperback version of Ulysses S. Grant: A Victor, Not a Butcher. Controversial and compelling, Ulysses S. Grant: A Victor, Not a Butcher, Bonekemper ably silences Grant’s critics and restores Grant to the heroic reputation he so richly deserves.
