Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A farcical biography of Ulysses S. Grant, You, Me, and Ulysses S. Grant is a history lesson disguised as an uproarious novel. Spanning from Grants birth until his victory over the Confederacy, You, Me, and Ulysses S. Grant gives us an honestwarts and allportrait of a relatable American hero who wrestled with the same domestic divisions that were dealing with today. But what makes this book truly special is in its playful, disruptive postmodernism and the characteristically Brad Neely, campy voice of its narrator. The book examines the validity of biography by hilariously breaking all the form's rules. Through his humor, Neely brings Ulysses S. Grant to life. And in bringing Grant to life, Brad Neely has created his greatest cult classic yet.Taking the accessible, pop history of Coes You Never Forget Your First and adding more of the nerdy, punk humor of Rainn Wilson or Judd Apatow, You, Me, and Ulysses S. Grant is for both history and humor readers alike. Though undeniably funny, the book forces us into an urgent discussion of how much progress weve really made since the Civil War and the costs were willing to pay to see justice. You, Me, and Ulysses S. Grant removes the pomp to deliver a hopeful message of human potential, that the heroes we now venerate were also flawed, flesh and blood individuals and that us, too, are never too small to achieve great things. Taking the accessible, pop history of Coe's You Never Forget Your First and adding a healthy dose of nerdy, punk humor, You, Me, and Ulysses S. Grant is for both history and humor readers alike. This farcical biography forces us into an urgent discussion of how much progress we've really made since the Civil War and the costs we're willing to pay to see justice.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An exploration of myth, legend, and origin stories passed from generation to generation.In the thirteenth century BC, a quarter of a century before the Trojan War, seven Greek warrior heroes went against the Greek city of Thebes to restore one of their number to the throne of his father, the famous King Oedipus. Several children of those seven heroes would later take part in the siege of Troy.This adventure was equal in the minds of Greeks and Romans with the siege of Troy as told in Homers epic The Iliad, an event which it predated by a generation. And while the story contains mythical elements, there are no factual, historical, or archaeological reasons to suggest that the military campaign did not take place much as described.Initially sung in verse and later committed to written form via histories, ancient poems, and plays, Seven Against Thebes is a historical narrative concerning one of the greatest military adventures of all time. From the award-winning historian, Stephen Dando-Collin, Seven Against Thebes is an enthralling historical narrative concerning one of the greatest military adventures of all time.
