Grant

Chernow reveals a nuanced portrait of Grant beyond the battlefield and presidency. I wonder what motivated this emphasis on his internal battles.

The book spends a lot of time on his presidency and personal life, but I’m curious whether the author intentionally condensed certain military events or if there’s more detail elsewhere.

Grant’s complexity is so well-drawn, but I wonder what choices the author made about which traits to emphasize and which to leave in the background.
