Today, Sherman's account remains arguably the most significant work of Civil War military history after that of his friend and commanding general Ulysses S. Grant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn blunt terms, Sherman chronicles his military life and leadership from the First Battle of Bull Run to the Battle of Shiloh and the Atlanta and Vicksburg Campaigns. Most notably, he gives a detailed account of his notorious March to the Sea, which instituted a new and uniquely destructive type of warfare that would include civilians in the conflict between armies ever after. Along the way, he provides candid and often unsparing commentary on his fellow officers, subordinates, and adversaries. These assessments created immediate and lasting controversy, so much so that Sherman published a second edition with extensive appendixes responding to the outcry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis newly annotated volume, featuring an introduction by leading Civil War historian John F. Marszalek, presents Sherman's life and legacy for today's audience. Detailed notes shed light on his editorial process, while contextualising individuals, places, and events that loomed large for nineteenth-century readers but have since become obscure. Reintroducing a classic work of American military history, this edition brings to life a remarkable figure whose leadership continues to be debated today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871558684908,"sku":"9780674988354","price":80.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8385423482428.jpg?v=1759884032"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/william-t-sherman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
