About the Author

For nearly two decades, H. W. Brands has been writing a six-volume history of the United States in the form of a series of linked biographies. Four volumes have been published before now; these are Volume 1:
The First American
(on Benjamin Franklin, 1706–1790), Volume 2:
Andrew Jackson
(1767–1845), Volume 4:
T.R.
(Theodore Roosevelt, 1858–1919), and Volume 5:
Traitor to His Class
(Franklin Roosevelt, 1882–1945). The present work,
The Man Who Saved the Union
(Ulysses Grant, 1822–1885), becomes Volume 3.

The author continues to teach at the University of Texas at Austin, where he is the Dickson Allen Anderson Professor of History, while he works on Volume 6.
