Written under excruciating circumstances (as Grant was dying of throat cancer), encouraged and edited from its very inception by Mark Twain, it is a triumph of the art of autobiography. The Civil War general and eighteenth president of the United States describes his education at West Point, personal life, military career, and political philosophy.
