The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Grant comes to life through his own words taking us into the historic past through his eyes.

    I watched the six hour documentuary on Grant on the History Channel. Grant was the master mind that led to the Confederacy's defeat. Grant wrote his memoirs while dying of cancer. He finished the last page a few days before he died. Mark Twain incouaged Grant to write his Memoirs. The book is close to twelve hundred pages. I am still reading it at a slow pace and find myself thinking abiut life in the mid 1800's as Grants writing ability matches his military genious.

  • Readable and humorous and brings history to life

    Despite how long this book is, I find it very readable and humorous and not dry or stuffy in the least. I read a chapter nightly. This book is not something I would ordinarily find so compelling, but I saw a documentary on Amazon, and was intrigued. It helped me understand a lot of what was going on prior to the Civil War and the earlier parts go into detail about the Mexican was which was something I was pretty unaware of.
