Tom's Reviews > Grant and Sherman: The Friendship That Won the Civil War

A really great read! Whether or not they were friends Grant and Sherman certainly made a significant contribution toward winning the Civil War and the author makes a strong case for their friendship. In any event Flood has written an outstanding book by enabling us to look over the shoulders of these two flawed but driven characters as well as the other political, military and civilian individuals who make up the story. I put this at the top of the books I've read about the Civil War. The descriptions of battles clear describe the settings and shifting influences, even without having to flip back to the maps. Assigning five stars was easy.
