(Winner of the American Civil War Museum's Jefferson Davis Prize and a Main Selection of the History Book Club) Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee met in person only four times, yet as the commanders of their respective armies they determined the outcome of America's most divisive war and cast larger-than-life shadows over their reunited nation. William Davis—an advisor to the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission and a senior consultant for the History Channel's Civil War Journal—won an unprecedented fourth Jefferson Davis Prize for this remarkable double biography of Grant and Lee. They were from vastly different backgrounds—Lee, the melancholy realist, came from a distinguished family of waning fortunes, while Grant, the incurable optimist, was a young man on the make in a new America—yet they became almost indistinguishable in their battlefield instincts, attitudes, and skills in command."Dual biographies are famously difficult to pull off, but William C. Davis has done it with panache. His research in previously unexploited sources reveals new information and insights on both Grant and Lee. With narrative skill that shifts the focus back and forth between the two generals, Davis builds the tension as their careers converge toward the climax at Appomattox. Here we have something genuinely new in Civil War scholarship."—James M. McPherson"There are many volumes contrasting Lee and Grant, but William C. Davis has gone far beyond the typical wartime comparisons. This beautifully written and wonderfully entertaining study falls right into line with his other excellent works, and the side-by-side comparisons of the lives and growth of Lee and Grant offer far more than the usual examination of Civil War strategy. This is a surprisingly fresh addition to any Civil War library."—Jeff Shaara 629.
