520 Ulysses Grant rose from obscurity to discover he had a
genius for battle, and he propelled the Union to victory
in the Civil War. After Abraham Lincoln's assassination
and the disastrous brief presidency of Andrew Johnson,
America turned to Grant again to unite the country, this
time as president. In Brands's sweeping, majestic full
biography, Grant emerges as a heroic figure who was
fearlessly on the side of right. He was a beloved
commander in the field but willing to make the troop
sacrifices necessary to win the war, even in the face of
storms of criticism. He worked valiantly to protect the
rights of freedmen in the South; Brands calls him the last
presidential defender of black civil rights for nearly a
century. He played it straight with the American Indians,
allowing them to shape their own fate even as the
realities of Manifest Destiny meant the end of their way
of life. He was an enormously popular president whose
memoirs were a huge bestseller; yet within decades of his
death his reputation was in tatters, the victim of
Southerners who resented his policies on Reconstruction.
In this page-turning biography, Brands now reconsiders
Grant's legacy and provides a compelling and intimate
portrait of a man who saved the Union on the battlefield
and consolidated that victory as a resolute and principled
political leader.--Publisher's web site
