Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman in a handsome  newly designed case. An ailing Grant wrote his Personal Memoirs to secure his familys future. In doing so  the Civil Wars greatest general won himself a unique place in American letters. John Keegan has called it \"perhaps the most revelatory autobiography of high command to exist in any language.\" The Library of Americas edition of Grants Memoirs includes 175 of his letters to Lincoln  Sherman  and his wife  Julia  among others.

Sherman is the most controversial general of the Civil War. \"War is cruelty  and you cannot refine it \" he wrote in fury to the Confederate mayor of Atlanta  and his memoir is filled with dozens of such wartime exchanges and a fascinating account of the famous march through Georgia and the Carolinas.
