Title: Poorly written and unbalanced
Review: I'm a great admirer of Mark Twain but I didn't find much of him in this book at all. The book is basically about US Grant and his book, but I was more interested in reading about Twain. The mistakes the author puts in about Twain are almost laughable, anyone just starting out with the subject might make them but for a published author to make them is quite embarrassing. The portions about Grant were slightly better, but I expect much more from a book purporting to be about history and two great figures, an historical and a literary one. Very disappointing, frustrating reading.
