This sweeping book is often called the definitive biography of Ulysses S. Grant. Written by Pulitzer Prize winner Ron Chernow, it is an all-encompassing and dramatic portrait of one of our most compelling generals and most unappreciated presidents. Grant is a grand synthesis of painstaking research and literacy brilliance that makes sense of all sides of Grant's life, explaining how this simple Midwesterner could at once be so ordinary and so extraordinary.
