Sherman's Civil War (Collier Civil War Classics)

509 pp. "Best known for his relentless march through the heart of the Confederacy that set the stage for the final Union victory, William Tecumseh Sherman was a hero to the North and a villain to the South. This is his own story, vivid and forceful, of the war that assured the unity of the nation. Selected from his memoirs, these writings are a personal and revealing account of the Civil War from Bull Run to Appomattox. Sherman's unsentimental version of these events is itself a part of our history. Colored by the overpowering personality and presence of one of the first men to understand and develop the modern concept of total war."
