The General Who Won the Civil War. And Then Left America With No Return Ticket. Discover the incredible true story of Ulysses S. Grant, the Civil War general who preserved the Union, defeated Robert E. Lee, served as the 18th President of the United States, and then embarked on one of history's most extraordinary world tours.
