Ulysses S. Grant's life has typically been misunderstood. All too often he is caricatured as a chronic loser and an inept businessman or as the triumphant but brutal Union general of the Civil War. But these stereotypes don't come close to capturing him, as Chernow sows in his masterful biography, the first to provide a complete understanding of the general and president whose fortunes rose and fell with dizzying speed and frequency.

Among the autobiographies of great military figures, Ulysses S. Grant’s is certainly one of the finest, and it is arguably the most notable literary achievement of any American president: a lucid, compelling, and brutally honest chronicle of triumph and failure. From his frontier boyhood, to his heroics in battle, to the grinding poverty from which the Civil War ironically rescued him, these memoirs are a mesmerizing, deeply moving account of a brilliant man told with great courage.

Grant remembers his experiences with the key players of the day, takes us onto the battlefields, and recounts the twists and turns of fate. Grant was a failed peacetime soldier, failed farmer, failed woodcutter, failed bill collector, and 38-year-old clerk in a harness store in the spring of 1861. By 1864, he was directing all the Union forces.

The Marine Corps is known for its heroes, and Lieutenant General Lewis B. Puller has long been considered the greatest of them all. His assignments and activities covered an extraordinary spectrum of warfare. With his bulldog face, barrel chest (which earned him the nickname Chesty), gruff voice, and common touch, Puller became - and has remained - the epitome of the marine combat officer. Author Jon Hoffman has been given special access to Puller's personal papers as well as his personnel record. The result will unquestionably stand as the last word about Chesty Puller.

No member of America's founding generation had a greater impact on the Constitution and the Supreme Court than John Marshall, and no one did more to preserve the delicate unity of the fledgling United States. From the nation's founding in 1776 and for the next 40 years, Marshall was at the center of every political battle. As Chief Justice of the United States - the longest-serving in history - he established the independence of the judiciary and the supremacy of the federal Constitution and courts.

Trump and provides the most intriguing and significant analysis yet of Trump's political rise. Ambitious in intellectual scope, contrarian in many of its opinions, and admirably concise, this is surely set to be one of the most provocative political books you are likely to listen to this year.

The transcontinental railroads of the late 19th century were the first corporate behemoths. Their attempts to generate profits from proliferating debt sparked devastating panics in the US economy. Their dependence on public largess drew them into the corridors of power, initiating new forms of corruption. Their operations rearranged space and time, and remade the landscape of the West. As wheel and rail, car and coal, they opened new worlds of work and ways of life.

On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry. Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war.

His great oratory and leadership during the Second World War were only part of his huge breadth of experience and achievement. Studying his life is a fascinating way to imbibe the history of his era and gain insight into key events that have shaped our time.

Superb - Review of Both Volume I & Volume II
- By Wolfpacker on 01-23-09
Publisher's Summary
Written from his death bed, The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant are written by the most well known Civil War General himself, Ulysses S. Grant. In a review of his life as a private citizen, as well as a general, Grant lets the listener know what a heroic figure he really was.
Like so many men before him, Grant describes being pressured into a certain way of life by his father. He never aspired for a military career, but his father insisted on West Point Academy for his schooling. Grant takes us through the Mexican-American War, his short retirement after the war, and his involvement in the Civil War. He points out specific historical figures that directly lead to successes and failures in his military career.
Grant also immerses the listener in battle scenes that leave you visualizing an old western movie. His depiction of the war leaves an impression as he goes into deep details about the little parts of daily life in the military, like the food, supplies, and ammunition wagons that delivered their goods to them. Grant gives intellectual commentary on why he believes the Civil War happened, why the South was doomed from the beginning, and surprisingly, how they were all the better for it in the end.

British Pronunciation of Proper Nouns in America
Would you listen to Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant again? Why?
I am not certain, the book is very linear and fact based. On one hand it is apparent that Grant was not talented with rhetoric. On the other hand the book presents a wealth of knowledge and a prospective I wouldn't otherwise be exposed to.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narrator did an excellent job of elocution, and pronounced the names of many places phonetically correctly. However, in American English the spoken names of many places vary from the phonetically correct. American English is my primary language and I found this 'correct pronunciation' incredibly distracting and quite grating to hear the names like the Army of the Potomac, Maryland, and many other places pronounced in an atypical way. I don't begrudge the narrator, but I am spending a large percentage of this book thinking that's not the way we say that in America, as instead of to listening to content of the book.

Narrator's voice
Narrator sounds like a computer. He's awful. Not intonation--just drones on and on. I'm switching to the other version of this audio book that's available on audible.com with a different narrator. I hope he's better. I could take more than four chapters of this guy.
The actual book, written by US Grant is very interesting.

The oratory was terrible. A nasally European should not have been chosen to read this book. Several times I wanted to turn it off because I could not stand to listen to the monotone reading. chose another audio version of this book because this narrator of this version could put you to sleep.

Wrong Narrator
Would you consider the audio edition of Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant to be better than the print version?
No
What did you like best about this story?
The details and behind the scenes observations.
How could the performance have been better?
If the narrator had researched the proper pronounciations for the places, it would have been a more pleasurable listen. Errors: Shiloh - Shelo, P.T.G. Beaureguard - Booregard, Appamatox - Appotamax..
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Thought provoking.

English narrator, American history, no editor
Where does Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Top 25% in content.Dead last in narration (tied with a Basil Liddell Hart audio book)
What did you like best about this story?
For me it was the reconstruction of a historical figure I thought that I knew something about.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator was truly gating. How can you be paid to narrate the book and not bother to look up the how to pronounce the American place names and surnames? Shiloh, Appomattox, far too many to note here. I can't believe it was released this way. Would you narrate English history and mispronounce "Thames" river? Every time?
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Extreme interest.
Any additional comments?

What did you like best about this story?

What didn’t you like about Alastair Cameron’s performance?
Everything. His pronunciations of American historical sites was awful. Ah-PO-mah-tox for App-oh-MA-tox and chi-ca-HO-mah-ny rather than Chick-ah-HAH-mony, well understood AMERICAN pronunciations stands out to me as examples. This guy sucks as a reader of American history.
Was Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant worth the listening time?
Yes - This was, however, the longest I have ever taken to listen to a recorded book. This guy sucked as a narrator.
Any additional comments?
