Ulysses S. Grant is often accused of being a cold-hearted butcher of his troops. In Ulysses S. Grant: A Victor, Not a Butcher, historian Edward H. Bonekemper III proves that Grant's casualty rates actually compared favorably with those of other Civil War generals. His perseverance, decisiveness, moral courage, and political acumen place him among the greatest generals of the Civil War - indeed, of all military history. Bonekemper proves that it was no historical accident that Grant accepted the surrender of three entire Confederate armies and won the Civil War. Bonekemper ably silences Grant's critics and restores Grant to the heroic reputation he so richly deserves.

The information was intense going from battle to battle but always stating the case that the author believed. That being, The premise that Grant was less bloody than Robert E. Lee. I thought this was well stated and the author's arguments were well founded and proved.
Enjoyable!

Antietam is pronounced Auntie- eat'em. Seriously. Almost made me wreck the car the first time he mispronounced it, it was so ear shattering. I had to stop and think of what he was saying and it was in the correct context. There are other examples but this is the most jarring. O, and Mono-casey for Monocacy. Okay, I'm from Maryland, but jeesh. And Bullavar for Bolivar? Who edits this stuff?
Excellent book - ridiculous narration

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I can't recommend this book because the narration is so distracting. Antietam is read as "antie edam" and Monocacy is read as "mono casey"Who would you have cast as narrator instead of E. Roy Worley?
