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.
Harry S. Laver is the Maj. Gen. William A. Stofft Chair of Historical Research at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He is the author of?A General Who Will Fight: The Leadership of Ulysses S. Grant and Citizens More Than Soldiers: The Kentucky Militia and Society in the Early Republic?and?a coeditor of?The Art of Command: American Military Leadership from George Washington to Colin Powell.
