Review: The Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant by Ulysses S. Grant
The Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant by Ulysses S. Grant My rating: 4 of 5 stars Grant is a fascinating individual, and a good writer. I listened on an audiobook, which made it at times difficult to follow everything he was describing, given that I was unfamiliar with the geography. I assume a good printed edition with battle maps would have alleviated that frustration. Again, because of the audio form, the amount of detail was at times tedious. But Grant's attention to detail is amazing, and it was informative to hear his evaluation of other generals, North and South, as well as his assessments of political leaders. Whetted my appetite for more Civil War history. View all my reviews
