Grant in Peace is Adam Badeau’s detailed account of Ulysses S. Grant’s life after the Civil War, focusing especially on his presidency and the years that followed. Badeau, who served on Grant’s staff during the war and remained close to him afterward, provides a firsthand perspective on Grant’s public career, personal character, and the political challenges he faced.

The book covers Grant’s two presidential terms, his efforts at Reconstruction, his diplomatic initiatives, and his world tour after leaving office. Badeau also discusses Grant’s financial hardships, the collapse of Grant & Ward, and the circumstances that led him to write his famous memoirs. Because the author knew Grant personally, the narrative combines biography, political analysis, and intimate recollections.

An important contemporary source, Grant in Peace offers insight into how Grant was viewed by those who worked beside him and preserves significant firsthand material about his postwar life and legacy.
