La première biographie en français du plus grand général de la guerre de Sécession et du 18e président des Etats-Unis, Ulysses S. Grant. Si Ulysses S. Grant est demeuré profondément ancré dans la mémoire collective, c’est bien plus au titre de général en chef de l’Union victorieuse en 1865 qu’à celui de président américain de 1869 à 1877. Et pourtant, à l’inverse d’un Robert E. Lee, vaincu magnifique devenu l’icône du Sud, Ulysses S. Grant n’a joui, ni alors ni aujourd’hui, de l’aura inaltérée du héros national qu’aurait pu et sans doute dû mériter son rôle.
