Grant & Meade: An Uneasy Alliance
How these two strong-willed military leaders worked together to achieve a common goal was not easy. The thin-skinned Meade constantly worried about losing his job and railed against any hint of disrespect by the press, politicians, or the general public.
Grant worried less about image and concentrated on ending the war. Using a wealth of first-person accounts and maps, this book covers the seminal campaigns of 1864-65 (including the Overland, Petersburg, and Appomattox Campaigns) to help explain the complex and evolving relationship between the two men.
