Ron Chernow’s “Grant” is a masterful biography that breathes new life into the enigmatic 18th president. With meticulous research and engaging prose, Chernow peels back layers of myth to reveal a complex, flawed, yet ultimately heroic figure. From Grant’s humble beginnings to his triumphs in the Civil War and tumultuous presidency, the author paints a nuanced portrait that challenges conventional wisdom. This riveting account left me with a newfound appreciation for Grant’s resilience and impact on American history.

I am not aware of ever having used a profane expletive in my life; I have always noticed that swearing helps to rouse a man's anger.
