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.

Yeah, the guy had to make a point that had nothing to do with the book. Maybe my library will get the CD set. That’s how I got through “War and Peace.”
