Grant was a fascinating character. His wartime journals are some of the most accurate accounts of the Civil War, but he didn't publish his memoirs until after his presidency, so even though the North won, the South won much of the PR war by painting Grant as a drunk general executing total war.

Tom Clancy´s Rainbow Six. The swedish edition, called Täcknamn Rainbow.

Next, wanting to pick up a more detailed book on Jackson Pollock. I have a couple but they don´t go too in-depth. Happy for any recommendation.

Curious if anyone has read Barry and ‘the Boys’ by Daniel Hopsicker, and what you thought of it.
