Sobre IBD

Ulysses chronicles the remarkable life of Ulysses S. Grant and the people who thrived on his strengths and preyed on his weaknesses in a dramatic and compelling style that combines James Michener and Irving Stone. Ulysses offers a rich tapestry of Grant’s life-from West Point to the Civil War to the White House, from his trouble with alcohol to heroism. A review in the Dallas Morning News described it as 'better than the biographies.' And a retired Air Force Academy history dean wrote, '...a masterful job of biographical reconstruction.'
