Episode 65: Ulysses

"The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on".
Ulysses S. Grant was an uncomplicated, plain-speaking man who had an exceptional career. The most acclaimed Union general of the American Civil War who went on to win election twice as the President of the United States, Grant's early career was one characterized by failure that could have led to a lifetime of historical obscurity had it happened to someone else.
