Bunting's biographette of Grant should be interesting. I knew Bunting slightly and enjoyed his early novel
The Lionheads. He did a pretty good job as Superintendent at VMI, although he had significant detractors towards the end of his tenure.
While I have enjoyed books on Grant before (especially Bruce Catton's Grant Moves South and his Grant Takes Command, nothing compares to Grant's own Personal Memoirs. It is one of the best autobiographical works I've ever read.
