Excerpt from Ulysses S. Grant: Address I shall not give a catalogue of battles. Let others better versed in military lore discuss details of strategy for which Grant had himself but little use. War as a game bad'no attractions for him. His meagre library had no military books. He studied tactics only for the task in hand.

I am always worrying about what the enemy is going to do. Grant never gives a damn! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
