Maggiori informazioni sul libro
President Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) was a highly regarded figure of the nineteenth century. His two-volume memoirs, once as common in American households as the Bible, have remained in print since their release, with notable figures like Mark Twain and Henry James praising them as great literature. Influential modern leaders, including Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, credit Grant's writing as an inspiration. However, a thoroughly annotated edition of these memoirs has not been available until now. This edition is the first to provide comprehensive annotations, showcasing Grant's reflections on his life, the Civil War, and his strategic decision-making on the battlefield. An introduction situates Grant's significance within history, while clear editorial commentary enhances his narrative. Compiled by the Ulysses S. Grant Association's Presidential Library, this edition deepens our understanding of the antebellum era, the Mexican War, and the Civil War, highlighting the challenges these events posed to American democracy and social cohesion. This annotated edition preserves and amplifies the political, historical, and literary importance of Grant's memoirs, offering a valuable resource for contemporary readers from diverse backgrounds.
