Grant

Synopsis

“Chernow’s special gift is to present a complete and compelling picture of his subjects. His biographies do not offer up marble deities on a pedestal; he gives us flesh and blood human beings and helps us understand what made them tick. Just as he did with George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, Chernow brings Ulysses S. Grant to life. At the end of the book, the reader feels as if he knows the man…. A magnificent book… ….This is richly rewarding and compelling reading.” [Christian Science Monitor] On YouTube, see "Ulysses S. Grant Documentary" (1 hour and 46 min) and 92Y's "Ron Chernow on Ulysses S. Grant with General (Ret.) David H. Petraeus" (1 hour and 10 minutes).
