About This Book
"In 1885, broke and dying, Civil War hero and tarnished President Ulysses S. Grant documented his life story; hoping to provide an income for his family after he was gone. The book he wrote in his agonizing final days became the famous Personal Memoirs of Ulysses Grant, which, he avowed, told the whole truth about his illustrious - and sometimes less than illustrious - career.".
"Or did it? In his novel, Ev Ehrlich presents us with a newly discovered, long suppressed, and uncensored "first draft" of Grant's bestseller that finally tells the real story.".
"The dying Ulysses S. Grant confesses in these pages a staggering secret: He is an impostor, a fake, a phony. As the novel follows Grant to West Point and into the Mexican War, through grinding poverty and failure that would break another man, and then to Vicksburg, Appomattox, and the White House, Grant wrestles with not only the searing issues of his time, but the questions of fate and destiny that lie at the heart of any great novel."--BOOK JACKET.
