Title: Good book of comparisons
Review: This book was basically an examination of the modern views to Grant with a great amount of comparisons to Napoleon, Walpole, Montgomery and Ike. This should have been titled "Famous Generals of WWII with Historical American Connections." Mr. Korda is a native of the UK and uses his knowledge of its history to always let the heroes in Europe, and his past biographical subjects (Monty and Ike) appear on every other page (Literally, EVERY OTHER PAGE). There was one part in particular that was supposed to describe Grant's appearance but instead talked of Monty's "unassuming beret" and Ike's "jacket" and Churchill's(another major character in this book) "unflapibilty." Enjoy it if you like historical parrallels to Grant and a host of European notables. It was a waste of a Christmas gift.
