Full Synopsis
Michael Korda brings his acclaimed storytelling talents to the life of Ulysses S. Grant— a man who ended the Civil War, served two terms as president, and wrote one of the most successful military memoirs in American literature.

Ulysses S. Grant was the first officer since George Washington to become a four-star general in the United States Army, and the only president between Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson to serve eight consecutive years in the White House. In this succinct and vivid biography, 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 the United States through a pivotal juncture in its history.
