Grant Ulysses Simpson - Battle of wills: Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, and the last year of the Civil War

A good many books, papers, articles, and reports were consulted during the preparation of this book: everything from medical journal reports on General Lee's heart condition to recent biographies of Lee and Grant to diaries and letters from those who were present during the events described to the invaluable Official Records, which was first published in 1900.

This Select Bibliography is just thata listing of selected sources that were referred to most often. It is not a complete bibliography, and is not meant to be. A complete listing would go on for many more pages, and would be much too long to be included here.
