On Ulysses S. Grant with Ron White

The inner lives of great people are often more mysterious and fascinating than their public lives. Dr. Gail Saltz, the author, psychoanalyst and contributor to the Today show, invites experts and brings her own expertise to bear as she examines the psychology of people who have shaped history.

In his time, Ulysses S. Grant was routinely grouped with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in the “Trinity of Great American Leaders.” But the battlefield commander–turned–commander-in-chief fell out of favor in the twentieth century. In American Ulysses, author Ronald C. White argues that we need to once more revise our estimates of him in the twenty-first. Come hear about White’s seven years of research with primary documents — some of them never examined by previous Grant scholars — and the assemblage of the Grant biography of our time.
