Sobre este artículo
From the Editor's Preface: "Through almost the whole of their history Americans have shown a deep distrust of the military man. The constitutional structure of the United States was explicit in subordinating military to civilian authority, and deeply rooted, popular suspicions have resisted the creation of a military caste with special privileges."
"Ulysses S. Grant was a man superbly fitted by character and background for his role as military leader. He moved unsteadily into the nation's highest office in the period of confusion and great change after the Civil War. But as a civilian the very qualities that made him a great soldier proved a liability."
Very Good condition. Blue cloth cover with "The Library of American Biography" graphic impression on front. Gold gilt text and design on spine has faded. Very light soiling/rubbing - barely noticeable. Bottom front corner has some wear. Glue discoloration on end papers. Previous owner's name and date in ink on end paper. Otherwise text is clean and binding is tight.
Please use photos as part of the description.
201 pages including Index.
