Ulysses S. Grant by Josiah Bunting

A compact biography that follows his rise from modest frontier beginnings to decisive Civil War leadership, chronicling his strategic victories at places like Vicksburg and his role in bringing the war to an end, then examining a turbulent presidency marked by earnest Reconstruction efforts and civil-rights enforcement alongside corruption scandals and economic troubles, and finally recounting his post-presidential struggles, world tour, and the poignant memoirs that helped restore his reputation.
