An outstanding and remarkable work defining one of the most famed leaders of our nation, both on the battlefield and in the political arena. This was a truly a beginning to end biography touching on almost every aspect of Grant’s life and pulled no punches on outlining the shortcomings as well as the strong points of this man. Very well researched and written and extremely well read by Mark Bramhall, this was very well worth the immense time endeavor to explore the history of U.S. Grant.
