American Experience: Warrior President.
This biography of Ulysses S. Grant paints a nuanced portrait of one of America's most paradoxical leaders. The greatest hero of the Civil War, Grant was a brilliant military strategist who rose from obscurity to a rank held previously only by George Washington. He was then propelled into the White House by his battlefield success, but was financially ruined seven years after leaving office and spent his final days battling cancer while finishing his epic war memoirs.
