Here's a quote from JFC Fuller's book Grant and Lee, where when he had initiated his research for his book Grant and Lee, he
had accepted the conventional point of view that Grant was a butcher and Lee one of the greatest generals the world had ever seen . . . Then I turned to Grant, and found him nothing like the Grant I had been led to picture; lastly to Lee, to discover that in several respects he was one of the most incapable Generals-in-Chief in history -- so much for school education.
