General John A. Rawlins

Autor Allen J Ottens
en Limba Engleză Hardback – aug 2021
-First new biography of John A. Rawlin, the man behind Ulysses S. Grant, in over a century. -Rawlins is often overlooked by historians, and by Grant himself, even though he was Grant's assistant adjutant general and ultimately Grant's secretary of war. Accessibly written, it should appeal to general history readers and scholars alike.
