{"product_id":"9780060590154","title":"Ulysses S. Grant: The Unlikely Hero","description":"Simon \u0026amp; Schuster's editor-in-chief offers insights into Grant (1822- 85), 18th president of the US. Beginning this concise biography with speculation about how Grant might have felt about his tomb being used as the backdrop for a recent pop concert, Korda traces his upbringing, victories as a Civil War general, and shortcomings as president (e.g., failure to grasp economics) in the context of the times. The author urges politicians contemplating the use of force to first read Grant. Lacks an index.
