"This was a very brief biography of Grant, giving a very limited account of his Civil War generalship and presidency, but gives the reader a sense of his relentlessness and bad business sense. As a professional soldier he was successful, but as a civilian, (even president) he mostly failed miserably. The most interesting parts were about his experiences as a young officer in Texas and during the Mexican War, (1845-1848) and his round-the-world trip in 1877-'79. I need to read a real biography of Grant, and this one wasn't it."
"This is an excellent example of the Eminent Lives series from HaperCollins. Korda provides a succinct capsulized version of the Civil War as well as the man who helped defeat the Confederacy."
"I really like history so to me this book was pretty good. I liked the beginning because it talked about Grants tomb and I have been there a lot of times so i could picture the setting in my head very well. As the book was describing his early life it was kind of boring but once it got to the Mexican American war and the Civil war, it became really interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes American history or the Civil war"
"This is a readable outline of the life and career of the General who won the American Civil War. A good introduction to the maan with details of his early life, family life and referenced comments on his personality that are usually ablent form his biographies. A quick,interesting and informative read."
