This a review of a new biography of Ulysses Grant, who might do something noteworthy someday (?). Honestly, he hasn’t amounted to much since the Mexican War. The author seems to fancy himself as the nonfiction Tolstoy - no doubt the audiobook is a zillion discs - but I thought his nearly-as-massive biography of Alexander Hamilton was quite a page-turner.

I still like Aaron Burr best, though.

That looks like it should be a good read. For now I will stick to the Jean Edward Smith Grant that the reviewer mentions, saying it is echoed in Chernow's book. My first Grant excerpt happens next month.

I got the feeling that NR reviewer would rather talk about Donald Trump and was determined to connect the story of a Civil War general to him by whatever means he could think of.
