Ulysses S. Grant

Ulysses S. Grant is commonly remembered as the general whose fierce determination turned the tide of the Civil War, and who showed vision and magnanimity at Appomattox. But the most common word associated with his presidency is "scandal." Grant is routinely portrayed as a man out of his depth in the world of politics, whose trusting nature and hands-off style opened the nation's coffers to plunder. That, Josiah Bunting III argues, is both caricature and clichi, and shows that Grant's presidency has been undervalued for generations.Bunting III, Josiah is the author of 'Ulysses S.
