Ulysses, a Novel Robert Skimin

Ulysses chronicles the remarkable life of Ulysses S. Grant and the people who thrived on his strengths and preyed on his weaknesses in a dramatic and compelling style that combines James Michener and Irving Stone. Ulysses offers a rich tapestry of Grant¿s life¿from West Point to the Civil War to the White House, from his trouble with alcohol to heroism. A review in the Dallas Morning News described it as ¿better than the biographies.¿ And a retired Air Force Academy history dean wrote, ¿¿a masterful job of biographical reconstruction.¿
