Ulysses "Sam" Grant had retired from the military and was an alcoholic clerk when the Civil War began. Leading a volunteer infantry unit to assist the North's cause, he was soon promoted to General in the Union Army. Upon victory, Grant would ride on his laurels to the Presidency, where he served one term as America's 18th Commander-in-Chief. This four-hour study of the brilliant military tactician who ascended to a troubled Presidency is an insightful documentary from public television's AMERICAN EXPERIENCE.
