I didn't know much of anything before reading this and I've come away with a great appreciation for Grant
The first half about his youth through the civil war was very good. The second half dragged on in many places. I didn't care much for his political struggles because I don't care for politics in general. Some people may love reading about the politics of his day.
I am a little concerned that the book goes too far with his praises simply because I didn't know much about him, and with how great he is portrayed here, you'd think the general populace would know more about him. Honestly, if everything is accurate, it was a huge slight to not include him on Mt Rushmore. And yes, he would be used to Mt Rushmore, I'm just saying that as a level of prestige
