General Sam Grant made famous the expression "unconditional surrender", which is how most of his battles ended - for his opponents. A hard-drinking soldier in a hard-drinking army, he led the Federal armies to victory, forcing Robert E Lee to surrender the main Confederate army in 1865. Robin Neillands' concise biography takes us from Grant's disastrous pre-war record to his sudden emergence as a general of genius.
