Ricks, Foreign PolicyUlysses S. Grants memoirs, sold door-to-door by former Union soldiers, were once as ubiquitous in American households as the Bible. Mark Twain and Henry James hailed them as great literature, and countless presidents credit Grant with influencing their own writing.

With annotations compiled by the editors of the Ulysses S. Grant Associations Presidential Library, this definitive edition enriches our understanding of the pre-war years, the war with Mexico, and the Civil War. Grant provides essential insight into how rigorously these events tested Americas democratic institutions and the cohesion of its social order."What gives this peculiarly reticent book its power?
