1. • • Overall, however, Ron Chernow’s “Grant” ranks with the very best of the single-volume biographies of Ulysses S. Grant. It is engrossing, revealing and could hardly be better (unless, ironically, there was a tad less of it). For anyone interested in fully embracing the famously reticent Grant it is a must read.

   Is Chernow a reliable fan of Grant?

   • Readers will quickly discover that Chernow is no unreliable fan of Grant; his support is full-throated and enthusiastic. In contrast to the man portrayed in McFeely’s 1981 biography, Chernow’s subject frequently receives the benefit of the doubt and occasionally seems super-human.

   Does Chernow have an instinct for redemption?

   • Chernow has an instinct for redemption. He picks out Grant’s efforts for enslaved people during the war, and for newly enfranchised people afterwards. But individual sobriety and mass emancipation are not moral equivalents. Grant’s personal redemption did not equate to the redemption of the American republic.

   Does the inspired Commander idea still work for Chernow?

   • The inspired commander idea still works for Chernow, but he argues strongly against the rest. In a book that is very much of its time, he puts Grant’s attitudes toward racism, anti-Semitism, political corruption and alcoholism front and center, while also homing in on every battle Grant ever fought.
