The story recalls the past glory of the two greatest leaders of the Civil War and their relationship. Grant and Sherman's incredible victories combined to crush the game but overmatched Confederate Army led by who was considered the War's best Generals Robert E . Lee. The book runs a little long describing in detail what the victory parade entailed at the end of the book. Otherwise, the book is marginally good.

I must note what a nice good man U.S. Grant was. After his presidency, he was swindled out of his earnings by a bad investment. On this deathbed he wrote his much anticipated memoir in order that his wife would have money to live off once he had passed. He died 3 days after completing it.
