Description
Best-sold since its publication, ‘Personal Memoirs of General Ulysses S. Grant’ is an autobiography by Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States. It was completed a short time before his death of cancer in 1885, and focused mainly on his military career during the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War. Lauded for its crisp and direct prose, Grant’s autobiography offers frank insight into everything from the merits of the war with Mexico to the strategies and tactics employed by Union forces against the Confederacy to the poignancy of Grant’s meeting with General Lee at Appomattox Court House. Mark Twain hailed them as "The best of any general's since Caesar." Refreshingly candid and honest, Grant's assessment of his humble beginnings, his rise to fame, and his greatest triumphs and failures has become an American classic.
