Grant by Ron Chernow

5.0

Wow! That was a book (maybe 3). Hats off to Chernow for his thoroughness of research and retelling. Yes, I found some of the details awfully granular. And there may have been points made and re-made in ways that weren’t entirely necessary. But for me this wasn’t a book that I had to be hyper-focused on every paragraph. That said, I am signficantly better informed about Grant and his period of history than I was before picking the book up. For that, I’m thankful to the author. I finished the book believing that time and effort it took to absorb the material was a worthwhile investment.
