Wow!

I have been an amateur historian for decades. I had always been told such negative things about General Grant. Worth every minute. A pleasant surprise.

Excellent

Ted

Wonderful, what a treasure to our nation this soldier (General) was!
Performance was great.
The story of our nation so historic.
Thank you

long story

Battle by battle detail, too much at times. Gave me some insight of the man.

Outstanding!

A must read for all current and future military leaders, historians,, and military intelligence professionals.

Detailed thoughtful work

This book shared very detailed thinking and actions by Ulysses S Grant. It also reflected on the quality of the men who he fought
alongside and his lack of patience with people lacking courage. Frankly, it was a little too detailed at times and was a bit boring but overall a great way to understand the tax for thinking of an amazing general.

Great story of a great American

No spinning here. US Grant was all business and amazingly concise. He was also a man of great character and strength.
Really enjoyed this book

Phenomenal attention to detail

Bramhall reads Grant so well as he did in Chernow's biography! No wonder this is studied as THE war memoir.

An outstanding memoir of an outstanding individual

The memoir is a direct peak inside the thoughts and actions of one of America's greatest Generals during the most critical time in American history that would define what we would become. He suffers no fools and his conduct of the Civil War from Colonel to Commander of all the National Forces shows the unequalled determination and vision that his peers could not match. The narration was perfect and helped you not only hear Grant's recollections but feel them.

US Grant

A wonderful look into the mind of a military genius. with all of the negative things that are said about Ulysses s Grant, it is refreshing to see his service to our country through his eyes.
