Ulysses S. Grant: The Unlikely Hero Paperback - 2009
by Michael Korda
Korda brings his acclaimed storytelling talents to the life of Ulysses S. Grant, a man who managed to end the Civil War on a note of grace and served two terms as president.
From the rear cover
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.
