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\u003e Grant, 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\u003e Hurst 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":47095711727856,"sku":"9781433283789","price":20.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433283789_p0.jpg?v=1763751841","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433283789","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
