Ulysses S. Grant was the great hero (for the North) in the Civil War and the 18th President of the United States. This short biography is only 145 pages in a little pamphlet size. The author is famous for his stories of the Old West, but he also wrote a substantial body of nonfiction literature. (Summary by David Wales) (2 hr 45 min)

Slow-paced, sympathetic portrait of General Grant with a focus on military accomplishments. Itâs short and glosses over his failures, but one does come away appreciating the complexity of the man. This was just what I wanted before tackling Grantâs own autobiography. The narrator has a sort of drawl that is well-suited for the text.
very interesting and great reader

this is easily as good as The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin; which personally is among my absolute favorites. I hope you give this audiobook a chance, I feel you won't regret it.

A well-written summary as a tribute to an America hero. Well read, also.
