The book American Ulysses: A Life of Ulysses S. Grant is a biography of one of the greatest generals of America and also one of the most misunderstood presidents. The book has been written by the author of A. Lincoln, which has been New York Times bestseller.
During his time, Ulysses S. Grant was often put in the group of big three American leaders, along with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. But the commander of battlefield and commander-in-chief lost support from people in the twentieth century.
In the book American Ulysses: A Life of Ulysses S. Grant, it has been urged by Ronald C. White that in the present century we should once again take a look at the perception that we have towards this great leader. This book has been written after a thorough research and study of main documents that went on for seven years.
Many of these documents were overlooked by previous scholars. It can easily be said that the book American Ulysses: A Life of Ulysses S. Grant will enable us to take a look at Grant in a different manner in this time. White has exceptional skills in penning down momentous history.
In the book American Ulysses: A Life of Ulysses S. Grant, Grant has been depicted as a curious, generous, introspective man and leader. Ulysses has a natural gift to manage people around him and was a willing delegator. Julia Dent Grant, wife of Ulysses Grant, who was long forgotten in the history books, has come out as an influential and spirited partner.
Grant was both a wonderful general and a passionate defender of equal rights in American post-Civil War. He took the office at White House in the year 1868 and used the federal government power to battle the Ku Klux Klan.
He was the first president who dared to claim that the policies of government towards American Indians are not moral. He was also the first ex-president who went on a word tour. He showed the world how courageous he is by fighting against his death to complete his Personal Memoirs.
