Review of 'Grant Takes Command' on 'Goodreads'

A worthy reminder of how Grant was able to win the Civil War by becoming the leader of all the Union armies and bring them to fight together across all theaters. In this he was a better modern General than the tactical Lee.

While a good book, Grant's autobiography, Chernow's biography, and Shelby Footes Civil War Narrative are better.
