I wanted to learn more about Ulysses S. Grant & I certainly found out many interesting items. It was a very easy reading book with so much history regarding the man. I highly recommend it.

A surprisingly enjoyable biography, and revelatory to someone who was taught little about Grant except that he was an undistinguished president and a drinker, both wrong. He was in fact a sober, serious and ethical man who wrote fabulous letters to his wife during the Civil War. I never thought I would enjoy battle descriptions so much but they were so well mapped and explained. Grant was an interesting man and supporter of freed slaves.

The insight into the early life, controversies and values Grant held made the read worth it. I was glad to learn about what motivated Grant to be the leadervl he was.

I was given this book as a gift. Upon beginning to read it I saw its quality and bought a copy for my 91 year old, Iwo Jima vet father, who is enjoying it as well. Grant is one of the great American's who gets excellent treatment by Mr. White.
