A review by shanellewrites
Grant by Ron Chernow

4.5

For me, this book is exactly what a biography should be. The research is impeccable, the writing is clear, the narrative is well-formed. I actually cried a little bit at the end reading about Grant's death, which has never happened in any other biography I've read. It is very long, but I would heartily recommend this book to anyone with even a vague interest in biography or US history. It is a truly outstanding example of the form, and I don't know what higher praise I can give it.
