Overview

This documentary examines the life and accomplishments of Ulysses S. Grant, as a Civil War general, as a president, and as a man. From the ruthless spirit that helped him win the war to the presidency in which he tried to emphasize its meaning despite the condition of the nation, this film attempts to paint a fair portrait of the now legendary figure.
