With a front-row seat to titanic events of American history, Ulysses S. Grant's youngest son accompanied his father in the field during the Civil War, lived in the White House, and was with his parents on their post-presidency round-the-world tour. In this intimate account, Jesse Root Grant II recalls the company of the famous and powerful, including Abraham Lincoln, William Tecumseh Sherman and other generals, politicians in Washington, and royalty in Europe and the Middle East. He tells gossipy tales like the time when he caused a fuss with Queen Victoria and his meals with Oscar Wilde in France. A warm and close family, the Grants probably felt more at ease in each others' company than with anyone else. Jesse saw the great strains on his father during the war and even more so during the White House years. Few people realize that for sixteen unbroken years, Ulysses S. Grant shouldered tremendous responsibilities as general and president. Only during the round-the-world trip did Jesse finally see a marked change for the better in his father's mood and physical condition. In the 21st century, historians are taking a new view of Grant as general and as president. Far from being just a scandal-ridden president, out of his depth, his accomplishments are seen more favorably than they have been for a hundred years. Sit down with Jesse and see the days of his father through his eyes. "There is not a page of the story that does not contain something of keen human interest."-The Morning News "Illuminating indeed is the author's word-picture of General Grant's world tour."-The Courier Journal "This biography is exceedingly interesting...and a true understanding of a man whose courage and ability was universally admired."-The St. Louis Star and Times

With kaleidoscopic, trenchant, path-breaking insights, Elizabeth D. Samet has produced the most ambitious edition of Ulysses Grant’s Memoirs yet published. One hundred and thirty-three years after its 1885 publication by Mark Twain, Elizabeth Samet has annotated this lavish edition of Grant’s landmark memoir, and expands the Civil War backdrop against which this monumental American life is typically read. No previous edition combines such a sweep of historical and cultural contexts with the literary authority that Samet, an English professor obsessed with Grant for decades, brings to the table. Whether exploring novels Grant read at West Point or presenting majestic images culled from archives, Samet curates a richly annotated, highly collectible edition that will fascinate Civil War buffs. The edition also breaks new ground in its attack on the “Lost Cause” revisionism that still distorts our national conversation about the legacy of the Civil War. Never has Grant’s transformation from tanner’s son to military leader been more insightfully and passionately explained than in this timely edition, appearing on the 150th anniversary of Grant’s 1868 presidential election.

Not since Bruce Catton has there been such an absorbing and exciting biography of Ulysses S. Grant. “Grant is a mystery to me,” said William Tecumseh Sherman, “and I believe he is a mystery to himself.” Geoffrey Perret’s account offers new insights into Grant the commander and Grant the president that would have astonished both his friends, such as Sherman, and his enemies. Based on extensive research, including material either not seen or not used by other writers, this biography explains for the first time how Ulysses S. Grant’s military genius ultimately triumphed as he created a new approach to battle. He was, says Perret, “the man who taught the army how to fight.” As president, Grant was widely misunderstood and underrated. That was mainly because he was, as Perret shows, the first modern president—the first man to preside over a rich, industrialized America that had put slavery behind it and was struggling to provide racial justice for all. Grant’s story—from a frontier boyhood to West Point; from heroic feats in the Mexican War to grinding poverty in St. Louis; from his return to the army and eventual election to the presidency; from his two-year journey around the world to his final battle to finish his Personal Memoirs—is one of the most adventurous and moving in American history.

A dramatic portrait of one of America's most compelling generals and presidents, Ulysses S. Grant, by Pulitzer Prize winner Ron Chernow, author of the book on which the astonishing musical Hamilton is based. As late as April 1861, when the American Civil War broke out, Ulysses S. Grant was a dismal failure. A competent officer in the war against Mexico, he had resigned from the army over his drinking and had sunk into poverty as a civilian, losing all his money in hopeless investments. He had failed to secure the command of a volunteer unit and was about to return to his abject life working in his family's leather-goods store when he was offered the colonelcy of an Illinois regiment. Less than four years later he was the commanding general of the victorious Union armies and was hailed as a military genius. He later served two terms as President of the United States. This is the epic biography of a very unheroic American hero, a modest, reticent and principled man who surprised the world and changed it for the better.
