Ulysses S. Grant wrote much of his memoirs fully aware that he was a dying man,and he no doubt felt a strong sense of urgency to get his story told. Also,because of business failure,he needed a successful book to provide for his widow upon his death. In a straightforward,honest and simple writing style,he told his readers his remembrances of his very significant role in a critical point in U.S. history. Originally published in 1885,it is a compelling story,and has been a must read for those interested in U.S. military history for many years. Strongly recommended!
Bought this book for a cousin of mine after seeing a special TV program on General and President Grant...reading this book myself has really caused me to be more impressed with Grant than ever before.

After reading Grant by Ron Chernow, reading this book became of great interest. In General Grants own words, you get a behind the scenes view of Grant's life. His thinking and strategy during the Civil War shows why he is called the greatest General of Armed Forces.
