Grant and Sherman by Charles Bracelen Flood
William Tecumseh Sherman and Ulysses S. Grant were incontestably two of the most important figures in the Civil War; but they were also the closest of friends. This joint biography of the two Union generals covers the challenges and triumphs each would face throughout their eventful lives.
Ultimately, Grant became president of the United States, and Sherman would earn command of the entire U.S. Army. But it was a long road to success for both men. Before the war, Grant was forced to resign from the Army because of his drinking, and Sherman wandered from job to job. It was their remarkable achievements during the Civil War that would rescue their reputations and ensure their places in history. Moving and elegantly written, Grant and Sherman is a riveting portrait of two men and their friendship, which was forged on the battlefields of America's bloodiest war.Charles Bracelen Flood is the author of Lee: The Last Years, Hitler: The Path to Power and Rise and Fight Again, which won an American Round Table Award.
