William Tecumseh Sherman: In the Service of My Country: A Life
- W W NORTON CO
A major new biography of one of Americaâ€™s most storied military figures.
General Shermanâ€™s 1864 burning of Atlanta solidified his legacy as a ruthless leader. Yet Sherman proved far more complex than his legendary military tactics reveal. James Lee McDonough offers fresh insight into a man tormented by the fear that history would pass him by, who was plagued by personal debts, and who lived much of his life separated from his family. As a soldier, Sherman evolved from a spirited student at West Point into a general who steered the Civil Warâ€™s most decisive campaigns, rendered here in graphic detail. Lamenting casualties, Sherman sought the warâ€™s swift end by devastating Southern resources in the Carolinas and on his famous March to the Sea. This meticulously researched biography explores Shermanâ€™s warm friendship with Ulysses S. Grant, his strained relationship with his wife, Ellen, and his unassuageable grief over the death of his young son, Willy. The result is a remarkable, comprehensive life of an American icon whose legacy resonates to this day. 8 pages of illustrations, 10 maps
