Grant achieved what President Lincoln had sought since the start of the war: the first decisive Union victory. Fought on the western edge of the theater, the Forts Henry and Donelson campaign was a gruesome omen of what was to come.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGrant, until then an obscure brigadier general with a reputation for drink, became the fighting man of the hour, earning the nickname ¿Unconditional Surrender¿ Grant for his relentless pounding of the Confederates. But he had a match in ruthlessness in Lieutenant Colonel Nathan Bedford Forrest. Forrest, cavalry commander in the Henry and Donelson campaign, proved a counterweight to Grant: quick and nimble to the former¿s steady plodding, a ruthless slaveholder and future KKK Grand Wizard to Grant¿s abolitionism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHurst captures the battle of these two great men and armies in all its destructive glory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123099451632,"sku":"2940169835915","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169835915_p0.jpg?v=1769901138","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169835915","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
