Grant is Ronald C. White Jr.s 2016 biography of the Union general and eighteenth president of the United States. It belongs to the tradition of major presidential biography, but its purpose is partly corrective: White argues that Grant deserves a fuller historical assessment than the familiar caricature of a hard-fighting soldier, failed businessman, and scandal-shadowed president. Drawing on extensive primary sources, including materials not emphasized by earlier biographers, the book follows Grant from his Ohio childhood and West Point education through the Mexican War, civilian reversals, Civil War command, Reconstruction presidency, global travels, financial ruin, and final writing of his Personal Memoirs. White presents Grant as reserved rather than simple, morally serious rather than merely lucky, and politically consequential rather than passive. The result is a broad life study that links military decision making, personal character, family relationships, racial justice, and historical memory.
