Teague; Major; US Army RetiredGeneral J F C Fuller is one of the most famous; and outstanding; writers of military history. This book; along with another by the same author; The Generalship of Ulysses S. Grant; changed my whole opinion of the two greatest Generals of the American Civil War. Until I read this book I too held the traditional view that Grant was victorious over Lee simply because of his greater resources and a determination to move forward regardless of losses. Grant never suffered a defeat; some will say he lost at Shiloh but the consensus is he was the victor. Lee was defeated in the West Virginian Campaign; at Antietam; again some will disagree; at Gettysburg and again at Petersburg. Grant also was the victor of the most decisive battle of the war at Vicksburg. As for being a butcher; Grant's casualty rates were lower than Lee's. Grants armies were well equipped and relatively disciplined. Lee's army was known for straggling; desertion; and for being the worst supplied of the Confederate armies. All of these deficiencies must be laid at Lee's feet because he was the Commander; and he was responsible. Fuller explains these observations and others as well; and he does it using the facts very convincingly. While Lee was indeed the greater personality; Grant was the greater general. This book is an important and valuable reference and should be read by any student of the Civil War.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
