Description: THE MISUNDERSTOOD AMERICAN PRESIDENT ULYSSES S. GRANT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED as one of the most misunderstood of all American presidents - as a loser and failed businessman, as a brutal general in the Civil War. This acclaimed biography by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Chernow provides a more sympathetic portrayal of a remarkable man, the Union general who defeated the army of the South, saved his country and sought justice for black Americans. Ron Chernow is one of America's finest biographers. His work on the life and times of George Washington won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography and his book on Alexander Hamilton was the inspiration for the sensational Broadway musical. This book - like his earlier works - is the result of meticulous research and brilliant narrative writing skills. THE VOLUME ON OFFER IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION with clean, crisp and unmarked pages, a firm and square hardcover binding and an intact dust-jacket that Mackie Books has protected with a removable Brodart plastic cover. It has numerous black-and-white photographs and, in addition to a general index, it includes copious source notes and a useful bibliography.
