About This Item
Quote on back cover: "There is a magnificent unity to this story of Grant's leadership in both war and peace that is not found anywhere else. In this compelling narrative, Grant emerges more fascinating than ever before." - Doris Kearns Goodwin, authorof Team of Rivals and No Ordinary Time, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for history
Black and white photo section in middle of book.
From front DJ flap: "The Man Who Saved the Union is the first full biography of Grant to appear in a decade. With exciting scenes of battle and a sobering study of how close America came to fracturing again in the fragile years after the surrender at Appomattox, it is a passionate portrayal of principled leadership and physical and moral courage."
Book - Very Good condition. Brown paper over boards with navy spine with copper gilt text on spine. There is a red marker dot on bottom. Very minimal edge wear, but a little corner wear. Both front and back end papers are maps - but they are upside down. Clean and tight.
Dust Jacket - Much bumping and scraping on front cover, back is good. Slight edge/corner wear.
