Citizen Of A Wider Commonwealth

In 1877 former president Ulysses S. Grant embarked on a two-year world tour that took him from Liverpool to Yokohama with stops throughout Europe and Asia. Biographies of Grant deal very briefly, if at all, with this tour. In this revealing volume, Edwina S. Campbell chronicles Grant’s journey and demonstrates how it marked a decided turning point in the role of the US in world affairs.
