Lee and the end of the war.

Throughout the book, Grant provides insights into his leadership style and his decision-making process, as well as his personal reflections on the events and people he encountered during his military and political career. Overall, Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant V2 is a compelling and insightful account of one of America's most celebrated military and political leaders, written by the man himself.1885. Part Two of Two. The memoirs of the 18th president of the United States, who was a puzzling figure in American public life. He was a failure in his early ventures into both business and military life. In four years of commanding Union forces he climbed to the highest rank in the U.S. Army and directed the strategy that successfully concluded the Civil War in 1865. His two terms as president of the United States are considered by many historians to be the most corrupt in the country's history. Yet from accounts of Grant's contemporaries, as well as from his own memoirs, there emerges a personality of strong character and considerable dignity.
