Description:
This multi-hour biography of Ulysses S. Grant paints a portrait of one of America's most paradoxical leaders. The greatest hero of the Civil War, Grant was a brilliant military strategist who rose from obscurity to a rank held previously only by George Washington. Propelled into the White House by his battlefield success, Grant lacked the political skills to deal with the issues of the era: reconstructing the South and managing the nation's rapidly expanding economy. Seven years after leaving office, Grant was financially ruined by the collapse of an investment house in which he had placed his assets.

As a solider and general, ... Read More

Grant is one of the most confusing figures in our American History, because he was so conflicted as a man. Here is why:
*He comes from a family that was against slavery, but marries a woman who owned slaves.
*In 1861, he wrote his father a letter expressing no desire to help blacks but freed a slave he owned, rather than selling him and making a quick $1,000, even though he was broke and needed the money.
*He was a complete failure in life, until the time (the War) came when ... Read More

This biography begs for the reconsideration of U.S. Grant as one of the greatest military leader/presidents in our country's history. Talk about the rise of the underdog, how about a failed realtor and store clerk, a bottom-rung West Point grad and a notorious drinking habit to boot? When the biography discloses his natural instincts on horseback and his mathematical mind, I knew he shared the hidden traits of future greatness, like those of Alexander and George Washington.When you fuel your interest in ...
