Wow, I wished this book did not come to an end. Chernow is a wonderful writer and makes history so interesting and easy to read. Grant seems like a good friend through out this book and you'll find yourself pulling for all his successes and saddened by any digressions or downfalls. Luckily for our society, he made great contributions and always tried to do right and be just. To me, he seems like one our counties greats General/President/Politician, even though at times reluctant. I'd guess his contributions have been insufficiently heralded. Also, great detail about US history during the 2nd half of 19th century.
