Grant Speaks

U.S. Grant was a hapless cadet who floundered through West Point, quit the service, went broke, and then came back from the brink of disgrace -- just in time to lead the Union to victory in the Civil War. Living down his reputation as a drunken butcher, the self-made man somehow rode his popularity all the way to the White House, even if he didn't know what to do when he got there. From his secret identity to his military victories to the lowdown on the men he fought with and against, GRANT SPEAKS will change the way you think about history, fate, and the very tenuous line between heroes and fools.
