Grant

Ron Chernow offers the definitive biography of Ulysses S. Grant, a general who won the American Civil War and became president, but whose legacy was often ignored or distorted. An epic narrative that restores the historical complexity of Grant, showing a determined, loyal man, more progressive than many of his contemporaries, who faced deep economic crises and political conflicts.
