RARE FIRST EDITION IN A VERY PLEASING STATE OF PRESERVATION. VERY RARE IN THIS FORMAT CONDITION AND DELUXE BINDING STATE. ‘THE FINEST MEMOIRS OF WAR EVER PENNED’. An important historical memoir of the Civil War arguably the most important and the best thing that Grant ever wrote. General Norman Schwartzkopf has recently called this the finest memoir of war experiences that has ever been penned. Collectible copies of these books are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Copies in this binding especially so.<br> The earliest days of the Civil War were a hard lesson in hubris for the Union Army. After the appointment of Grant to overall command of the Union forces the war would quickly turn to their favor. <br> Probably the most important book on the American Civil War and in many respects a masterpiece of American literature. David Eicher"s useful summary includes this fine judgment: "Grant’s MEMOIRS comprise one of the most valuable writings by a military commander in history . . . The work is genuinely that of the commander. As such it is valuable in its scope its plain and clear analysis and language and its broad conclusions about the conduct of the war.<br> "In the years following the war Grant would move into the political arena even against his best judgment and would with great public acclaim be elected President of United States for two full terms.
