"It is a compelling collection of essays designed to effect and promote the efficacy of Grant's "reputational reclamation," as well as to examine some lesser known aspects of Grant's life. Written at times with great enthusiasm, the work is informative, on occasion quite quirky and will appeal to both serious students of Grant as well as the most casual of Grant enthusiasts." - Civil War Book Review

Ulysses S. Grant stood at the center of the American Civil War maelstrom. The Ohio native answered his nation's call to service and finished the war as a lieutenant general in command of the U.S. Army. Four years later, he ascended to the presidency to better secure the peace he had helped win on the battlefield. Despite his major achievements in war and peace, political and sectional enemies battered his reputation. For nearly a century, his military and political career remained deeply misunderstood.
Since the Civil War centennial, however, Grant's reputation has blossomed into a full renaissance. His military record garners new respect and, more recently, an appreciation for his political career--particularly his strong advocacy for equal rights--is quickly catching up.
Throughout these decades, his personal memoirs marking him as a significant American "Man of Letters" have never gone out of print. Now available in paperback, Grant at 200: Reconsidering the Life and Legacy of Ulysses S. Grant celebrates the bicentennial of the birth of a man whose towering impact on American history has often been overshadowed and, in many cases, ignored. This collection of essays by some of today's leading Grant scholars offers fresh perspectives on Grant's military career and presidency, as well as underexplored personal topics such as his faith and family life.
