General Sherman’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 War’s most decisive campaigns, rendered here in
graphic detail. Lamenting casualties, Sherman sought the war’s swift end by
devastating Southern resources in the Carolinas and on his famous March to
the Sea. This meticulously researched biography explores Sherman’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.
