Flawed, But Fitfully Fascinating By A Customer This odd, gossipy memoir has its flaws, but for anyone interested in Grant's personal side, this is a valuable look at his post-Civil War life. Badeau was a longtime aide of Grant's, and he gives much "inside information" dealing with Grant's postwar political career, as well as his private side, that is occasionally insightful and almost always entertaining. (His anecdote about Grant and his wife Julia on a Swiss train is by itself worth the price of the book.)The book has two main flaws. The first is that Badeau is simply a terrible writer. He is fond of using about three times the number of necessary words, which makes his style frequently tedious to plow through. The second, much more significant, drawback is that while Badeau knew Grant well, it is obvious that he did not know him nearly as well as he thought he did. Many of his comments about Grant's character are discerning, but many more are simply the product of Badeau's slightly arrogant assumption of personal familiarity with the workings of Grant's inner mind--a familiarity that clearly existed only to a very limited extent.Even with these drawbacks, however, I enjoyed the book and I recommend it for anyone curious about Grant's civilian years.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Grudgingly entertaining and interesting By Candace Scott Adam Badeau was a man who served on Grant's staff and who knew him well. Unfortunately, Badeau was venal, conceited, arrogant, cheap and had the character of a con man. Grant, hopelessly naive about many things, never was able to see into the black soul of this snake. Badeau wrote this book shortly after Grant's death when he was engaged in suing the Grant family, claiming he (Badeau) wrote Grant's Memoirs. A greater snake never slithered upon the earth than this creep.However, this book has definite merits. There's no doubt he knew Grant very well and he truly loved him for long periods. Much of the work is dated and contains chapters on figures long lost to history, such as Lord Gladstone and others to numerous to name. However, there are marvelous nuggets interspersed between the wretched parts. There are glimpses of Grant's private side which you'll not find in other places. This alone makes the book essential reading for anyone fascinated with the inimitable General Grant. Especially intriguing are chapters about Grant's world journey between 1877-1879 and his last days. This is mandatory reading for all who enjoy Grant, even if we revile this particular author.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. No page numbers By T. M. Thurston This is an important primary source on Grant, but the edition (ISBN 9785100202866) I got lacked page numbers, which is a serious flaw for any researcher.
