Citizen Sherman by Michael Fellman

Citizen Sherman by Michael Fellman

Some men panic in the face of war, others embrace its horrific challenges. But none embraced war as ferociously or with as much cold calculation as William Tecumseh Sherman. It was Sherman who both articulated and practiced the relentless scorched-earth policy that broke the heart of the Confederacy. Sherman succeeded in large measure because, better than any other Union general, he fully grasped the essence of psychological warfare and could enact his own deep-rooted rage with ruthless clarity.

This biography is much broader than an analysis of Sherman's wartime genius, however. Michael Fellman seeks to illuminate the emotional as well as the intellectual, ideological, and occupational lives of this extraordinary, but at the same time representative, Victorian American.

Fellman, Michael: - Michael Fellman is a professor of history at Simon Fraser University, the author of several books, including This Terrible War: The Civil War and Its Aftermath, and Citizen Sherman: A Life of William Tecumseh Sherman. He is also the editor of John Russell Young's Around the World with General Grant, available from Johns Hopkins.
