American Ulysses: A Life of Ulysses S. Grant
By Ronald C. White
826 pages;
Random House
Neither romanticized like his great rival Robert E. Lee, nor deified in martyrdom like Abraham Lincoln, nor given his full due for seeing Reconstruction through, Ulysses S. Grant has a legacy problem. This monumental biography attempts to redeem an American icon.
