You Me and Ulysses S. Grant

<b>A comically unorthodox biography</b><p></p>Spanning from the birth of Ulysses S. Grant until his victory over the Confederacy <i>You Me and Ulysses S. Grant</i> gives us an honest portrait of an American hero who struggled to balance love soldiering and the attainment of the American Dream.<p></p>Taking the accessible pop history of Coe's <i>You Never Forget Your First</i><i> </i>and adding more of the nerdy punk humor of Rainn Wilson or Judd Apatow <i>You Me and Ulysses S. Grant</i><i> </i>is for both history and humor readers alike. Examining the validity of biography by hilariously breaking all the form's rules this book removes the pomp to deliver a hopeful message of human potential: that the heroes we now venerate were also flawed flesh and blood individuals and that we too are never too small to achieve great things. <p></p><p></p>In bringing Grant to life Brad Neely may have created his greatest cult classic yet.<p></p>
