Book Reviews of Ulysses S. Grant: Soldier & President (Modern Library Paperbacks)
Book Review: Solid but not stunning
Summary: 4 Stars
Perret has written a good biography of Grant, but this is not a book in the same class as McCullough's Truman or Donald's Lincoln. Perret too often dismisses or criticizes Grant's contemporaries, or later historians, without really proving the point with facts and citations. He seeks to make Grant out as a fairly strong president, one who dealt with the critical issues, but the presidential section of the book is so short that one is left not fully persuaded. Finally, although he mentions Grant's own love of maps, the book has only three maps, making it hard to follow the Civil War sections.
