Review Quotes:
"Mosier has written the best appraisal of Grant's generalship ever to appear...Mosier has gone farther than anyone in proclaiming Grant to have been a military genius, one who in a number of ways surpassed both Napoleon and Wellington."
-- "Charles Bracelen Flood, author of Grant and Sherman and Lee: The Last Years"
