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
