Inverse Laplace Transform

Find the IVL of $\frac{(s-2)e^{-s}}{s^2-4s+3}$ .

I am not understanding how my textbook gets the answer $u_1(t)e^{2(t-1)}cosh(t-1)$

I end up with

$e^{-s}\left(\frac{1}{2(s-1)}+\frac{1}{2(s-3)}\right)$

$=u_1(t)\left(\frac{1}{2}e^{(t-1)}+\frac{1}{2}e^{3(t-1)}\right)$

OK, so my answer wasn't wrong, it just wasn't simplified. I've got to remember my hyperbolic functions.
