Ulysses S. Grant: British Opinion Of An American President 1868-1879 [Paperback]

President Ulysses S. Grant has always been a controversial and enigmatic figure, both in his lifetime and to the current day. The British too had strong (and differing) opinions about the 18th President, and this volume draws together a collection of editorial comment from across the British press about Grant. From high minded op-ed pieces to bawdy satirical verse, a wide range of British opinion on Grant is brought together for the first time in this volume. It will be of great interest to both historians and also the general reader.
