Grant and Lee

A Study in Personality and Generalship [Second Edition]

Maj.-Gen J. F. C. Fuller,

About this book

First published in 1957, this second edition of the analysis of the generalship of Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee remains one of the most readable histories of the Civil War. The author began his research sharing the generally held assumption that Lee was a great general and Grant a clumsy "butcher." By the time Fuller completed his project, however, he regarded Grant as the greatest general of his age and one of the greatest strategists of any age. Grant and Lee is a compelling study not only of two remarkable men but also of the nature of leadership and command in wartime.
"...cuts squarely across the accepted tradition...[Fuller] examines these two great soldiers from a fresh viewpoint and refuses to let himself be bound by tradition."—Bruce Catton, New York Times Book Review
"...a stimulating study which appreciates both the unique personalities of the protagonists and the social conditions which stamped their tactics."—Commonweal
"Fuller's...analysis and comparison of the personality, leadership, and generalship of Grant and Lee is as readable, instructive, stimulating, and...controversial as when first published."—Military Review
