In the midst of the Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant emerged to guide the United States first to victory, and then to the beginnings of reconciliation. As president, he called for renewed goodwill among his fellow Americans, declaring. "Let US Have Peace." As incredible as these events were, perhaps the most dramatic season in Grant's life is his final two years. After leaving the White House he loses all his money in a massive Ponzi scheme. Only months later he is diagnosed with terminal throat cancer. Without income and facing a painful death, Grant teams with his friend and publisher Mark twain to write his personal memoirs in an attempt to restore his family's fortune. Will U. S. Grant complete his memoirs before succumbing to cancer? Can Mark Twain work his magic with the American public to sell the book? Will the wife of the general spend her twilight years in poverty? Read the inspiring story in Victor! The Final Battle of Ulysses S. Grant. Book jacket. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
