Description:
Written by Pulitzer Prize–winning author MacKinlay Kantor, Lee and Grant at Appomattox is a vivid, human-scale account of one of the most pivotal moments in American history—the meeting of Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant at the close of the Civil War. Kantor brings his trademark narrative clarity and emotional depth to the final hours of the conflict, portraying not just the generals, but the atmosphere, tension, and dignity surrounding the surrender. Elegantly illustrated and written with restraint rather than triumphalism, this classic mid-century history reads almost like a short novel while remaining grounded in historical truth. A compelling choice for readers interested in Civil War history, leadership, and the moral weight of reconciliation.
