Grant)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow Grant secured a Tennessee victory and a promotion  Union soldiers in the Army of the Cumberland  who were trapped and facing starvation or surrender in the fall of 1863  saw the arrival of Major General Ulysses S. Grant in Tennessee as an impetus to reverse the tides of war. David A. Powells sophisticated strategic and operational analysis of Grants command decisions and actions shows how his determined leadership relieved the siege and shattered the enemy  resulting in the creation of a new strategic base of Union operations and Grants elevation to commander of all the Federal armies the following year.  Powells detailed exploration of the Union Army of the Cumberlands six-week-long campaign for Chattanooga is complemented by his careful attention to the personal issues Grant faced at the time and his relationships with his superiors and subordinates. Though unfamiliar with the tactical situation  the army  and its officers  Grant delivered another resounding victory. His success  explains Powell  was due to his tactical flexibility  communication with his superiors  perseverance despite setbacks  and dogged determination to win the campaign. Through attention to postwar accounts  Powell reconciles the differences between what happened and the participants memories of the events. He focuses throughout on Grants controversial decisions  showing how they were made and their impact on the campaign. As Powell shows  Grants choices demonstrate how he managed to be a thoughtful  deliberate commander despite the fog of war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665807171637,"sku":"ByrdShop_0809338017","price":63.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780809338016.jpg?v=1782407978","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-impulse-of-victory-ulysses-s-grant-at-chattanooga-world-of-ulysses-s-grant-9780809338016","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
