Sherman's march an eyewitness history of the cruel campaign that helped end a crueler war
General William Tecumseh Sherman is known as the man who said "war is hell" and who waged it so fiercely as to leave a permanent scar on the Southern psyche. But Civil War historian Richard Wheeler offers a new view of Sherman, as a man of compassion as well as conviction, a military leader who was ahead of his time in understanding that the destruction of supplies and property--the means to wage war--was as important as meeting and destroying enemy armies.
