Description
|
|
Penning his autobiography just before his death, Ulysses S. Grant reveals the shocking "truth" behind the Civil War: the real Ulysses S. Grant contracted amnesia before entering West Point and was replaced by Hiram Ulysses S. "Useless" Grant. Now the General of the Union Army and the most infamous drunk in U.S. military history the imposter Grant embarks on a tour of duty both hilarious and poignant. Whether putting Generals Burnside, Hooker, and Robert E. Lee in their place, speculating on Lincoln's assassination, or listening to foul-mouthed General Sherman wax poetic on his various gunshot wounds, "Useless" Grant offers an amusingly warped perspective on the Civil War -- and "Grant Speaks" delivers an absorbing view of 19th-century America.
