During Ulysses S. Grant's rise to the pinnacle of military command, he had to work with, manage, encourage, and sometimes berate an eclectic group of military leaders who came under his command during the US Civil War. In this first-ever deep analysis of Grant's leadership style, Harry S. Laver reveals how the introverted soldier exercised such exceptional military leadership that he won the war and became a popular figure in the American public mind.
