In the meantime, check out the website for the book. I cannot wait!

"Grant: Savior of the Union" by Mitchell Yockelson

“Grant: Savior of the Union,” written by Mitchell Yockelson, is the latest installation in the Generals series. This book is a simple synopsis of Ulysses S. Grant’s life, with an emphasis on his military career. Yockelson attempts to provide readers who are unfamiliar with Ulysses S. Grant with a basic, unbiased introduction to his life.


I appreciated this book, because it was a biography that wasn’t overly eloquent, yet it didn’t read like a boring history book either. If you’re a Grant fan, this book probably isn’t for you since it covers the mere basics of the man; however, if you are looking to learn more about Grant’s influence particularly in the Civil War, this is the book for you.

I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
