Writing with vigor and clarity, with a directness that captures the narrative sweep of events, and with hands-on intelligence of the strategies and tactics described, Grant unexpectedly penned one of the most remarkable and compelling volumes in American history. Focusing almost entirely on his military life, Personal Memoirs is an honest, insightful account of the campaigns Grant survived in both the Mexican-American War and in the brutal struggle between the Union and Confederate armies.
U.S. Grant's "coup d'oeil of the battlefield is second to none. Grant is a humble, honest narrator and writes about his war time experiences in the Mexican War and the American Civil War as well as his interwar years in California. Best war-time biography out there.
