Book Reviews of Grant
Book Review: A good introduction to Grant
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this book entertaining and enlightening however, I felt that there was much more that could have been written. References to Grant's mismanagement of investments, his complete trust of "business savy" individuals and even mis-dealings of members of his cabinet do not receive a great deal of analysis or description. His two term presidency "feels" as like it moves too quickly, and I found it difficult to maintain the thread and orientation, the "what" and "when" significant events occurred. However, I am glad to have a read the book and I feel that I have a good place to start for further investigation into Grant's life and work.
It is evident that Smith put in a great deal of effort to condense Grant into one volume and while I was left with wanting more, I did enjoy the narrative.
