Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. His friends called him Sam. His wife called him Ulyss. His initials suggested a name evocative of one of his most important battlefield successes: 'Unconditional Surrender' Grant. Ulysses S. Grant didn't think he'd even have an opportunity to get into the war, yet, by the time it ended, he commanded every soldier serving in the United States Army. Along the way he racked up impressive victories, learned from valuable mistakes, broke the back of the Confederacy, survived the backbiting of his immediate superior, and earned the respect and support of the president. Grant is my man and I am his the rest of the war! exclaimed Abraham Lincoln after the particularly vital victory at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Grant came from humble beginnings along the Ohio River, made a military name for himself near that river's confluence with the Mississippi, and went on to use the Father of Waters to split the Confederacy in two. That effort set him on the road to Chattanooga, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, the long siege of Petersburg, and Appomattox Court House in some of the war's most intense and infamous battles. In less than three years, the non-descript and unimpressive colonel of a regiment of Illinois volunteers rose to become the highest-ranking officer in the army and the first permanent lieutenant general since George Washington. His ultimate victory set him on a path to two terms in the White House-a far cry from that small clapboard house in which he was born. His meteoric rise from obscurity made Ulysses S. Grant the ultimate man of irony. Unassuming. Unpretentious. Unwilling to retreat. There will be no turning back, he once famously declared. Unconditional Surrender allows readers to walk in Grant's footsteps with Dr. Curt Fields, the nation's foremost Ulysses S. Grant living historian. Fields has offered a first-person portrayal of Grant since February 2010\. Distilled within these pages are years of extensive study that offer an ideal introduction to the dust-covered man from the West who won the Civil War and saved the United States. AUTHOR: Curt Fields is a living historian portraying General and President Ulysses S. Grant. He has appeared on the porches of the McLean house at Appomattox Court House as General Grant, the Grant home at White Haven in St. Louis as Captain Grant, and the McGregor Cottage in Wilton, New York, as former President Grant where the dying hero spent his last days. Fields holds a Ph.D. in educational administration and curriculum and is a retired secondary school principal and adjunct college instructor. He was also a Memphis, Tennessee, police officer and hostage negotiator. 100 images, 10 maps Distilled within these pages are years of extensive study that offer an ideal introduction to the dust-covered man from the West who won the Civil War and saved the United States.
