|  | Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant by E. B. Long, James M. McPherson, Jean Edward Smith, Jonathan Reese, Ulysses S. Grant
Faced with failing health and financial ruin, the Civil War's greatest general and former president wrote his personal memoirs to secure his family's future - and won himself a unique place in American letters. Devoted almost entirely to his life as a soldier, Grant's Memoirs traces the trajectory of his extraordinary career - from West Point cadet to general-in-chief of all Union armies. For their directness and clarity, his writings on war are without rival in American literature, and his autobiography deserves a place among the very best in the genre. AUTHOR: E. B. Long, James M. McPherson, Jean Edward Smith, Jonathan Reese, Ulysses S. Grant
