About the Book

In this new short biography of Ulysses S. Grant, leading scholars provide an accessible introduction to Grant and his legacy. Grant led Federal forces to victory in the Civil War, was the first modern American president, and authored his memoirs, which would eventually become one of the greatest books of nonfiction by an American author.

The authors present a thematic exploration of Grant, providing the necessary insight to appreciate Grant and correct the myths that for too long clouded his true importance. They highlight specific moments or relationships in Grant's life--including his connection to such key figures as Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain--and elaborate on the more controversial elements of Grant's legacy, such as accusations about his drinking and corruption during the Grant presidency. Not to overlook his military accomplishments, they devote time to the study of Grant's war strategy and military career, beginning as early as his reluctant enrollment into West Point.

From humble birth to tragic death, this new take on Ulysses S. Grant instills readers with a deeper understanding of the military legend's nuanced personal history and an appreciation for the late president's tragic and triumphant story.

Halleck, and George W. Murray. David S. Nolen is associate professor in the Mississippi State University Libraries.

Grant: The Complete Annotated Edition, winner of a 2017 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Award and the Mississippi Library Association's 2018 Authors Award for Non-Fiction.
