Sherman's Civil War by Jean V Berlin
Arranged chronologically and grouped into chapters that correspond to significant phases in Sherman's life, the letters - many of which have never before been published - reveal Sherman's thoughts on politics, military operations, slavery and emancipation, the South, and daily life in the Union army, as well as his reactions to such important figures as General Ulysses S. Grant and President Lincoln. Lively, frank, opinionated, discerning, and occasionally extremely wrong-headed, these letters mirror the colorful personality and complex mentality of the man who wrote them. They offer the reader an invaluable glimpse of the Civil War as Sherman saw it.
"No Sherman scholar or Civil War buff can afford to ignore this important publication, containing as it does the insights of one of the conflict's most controversial and important generals" - John F. Marszalek, author of Sherman's Other War: the General and the Civil War Press
