"A moving and convincing portrait....profound understanding of the man as well as his period and his country."—C. Vann Woodward, New York Review of Books "Clearsightedness, along with McFeely's unfailing intelligence and his existential sympathy...informs his entire biography."—Justin Kaplan, The New Republic

Well Researched
Grant is a paradoxical figure and this writer tries to explain him. He offers interesting insights on Grant and they seem to withstand the test of time. A remarkable general, fine but flawed President and someone who should be applauded
