Description

Liddell Hart considered General Sherman the dominant military genius of the American Civil War. To prove this point, he traced all of Sherman's military campaigns - from the first Bull Run debacle to general Joseph Johnston's surrender in 1865. "Sherman" is not only a military history - it is a biography and a work of strategic theory. In it, Sherman emerges lifelike and dramatic, and the philosophical and military foundations of his thoughts and deeds are deftly elucidated.
