"Michael Korda has delivered a jewel of a
short life of Ulysses S. Grant, a general deadly on the battlefield and
unprepossessing off it. As a biographer Korda is Grant-like himself:
unambiguous, decisive, clear. The book is a joy to read." --Larry McMurtry, Pulitzer Prize-winning
author of Lonesome Dove
The first officer since George Washington to become a
four-star general in the United States Army, Ulysses S. Grant was a man who
managed to end the Civil War on a note of grace, and was the only president
between Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson to serve eight consecutive years in
the White House. The son of an Ohio tanner, he has long been remembered as a
brilliant general but a failed president whose second term ended in financial
and political scandal. But now acclaimed, bestselling author Michael Korda
offers a dramatic reconsideration of the man, his life, and his
presidency. Ulysses S. Grant is an evenhanded and stirring portrait
of a flawed leader who nevertheless ably guided America through a pivotal
juncture in its history.
