Hill follows the two generals side by side: Lee’s Virginia heritage and Grant’s Ohio boyhood, their years at West Point, their service in Mexico, Grant’s struggles in civilian life, and the campaigns that finally brought them face to face in 1864 and 1865. He writes to give each man his due without sectional pride.
