This book has received many accolades and it stands up to them all. More than a thousand pages and I didn't want to reach the end. Previously I had known Grant mainly as a Civil War hero, but in reading this biography I found it even more riveting to learn the responsibilities thrust on President Grant as he had to put the nation back together post Civil War. The mind and heart of this man equalled or exceeded Washington's and Lincoln's.
