One of the most readable, and thoroughly enjoyable histories of the American Civil War I have had the pleasure to read. I will confess I put it on the reading list first because Sherman is an ancestor on my mothers side.
The book gave m3 new insights into the war in the west, and Grant and Sherman’s relationship .
What I continue to find fascinating is that the North survived to win this war with their initial inept leadership and political nonsense.
What I also find fascinating is that politics was the same then as now, interfering when they shouldn’t, providing politically motivated oversight, and attempting to take credit from the warriors
