Grant's "Memoirs" and Memories of Lee in one nice Gift BookBy Alan RockmanThis is a lavishly illustrated abridgement of Grant's wonderful "Personal Memoirs" and of Confederate Officer Armistead Long's "Memoirs of Robert E. Lee"; two of the major works of the Civil War (Lee never did get around to writing his own memoirs).While it must be stressed that this is an abridgement; and the actual volumes themselves are worth purchasing on their own; especially Grant's; the clear text and the extraordinary and realistic illustrations makes this volume a perfect gift for the Civil War buff this holiday season; or a worthy addition to one's own Civil War Library even if you already have the separate volumes - as I do.
