One is a gentleman from the South and one is a drunken reprobate from the North. So much for the cliches, which is about all most people will remember about the two generals who held the future of America in their hands for the long and bloody years of the Civil War. This fascinating portrait of the two men does more than set the record straight, it fleshes out the facts to give viewers a fully-informed look at how Lee and Grant were different, how they were similar and how a few decisions made by either one became the key to why one won the war and one went home in defeat.
