The opening of this volume delves into the strategic and challenging military landscape following Grant's arrival at Chattanooga, where he took command to address the dire situation of the besieged Army of the Cumberland. Grant recounts his first meetings with Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and other key figures, outlining the critical military movements that needed to take place to prevent a catastrophic retreat.
