Description
Taken from his monumental Memoirs, these substantial selections document Sherman's blitzkrieg-styled march through the heart of the South in 1864. The general's plain-spoken language reveals the theories that marked him as the first modern military strategist, from the use of railroads to the targeting of economic centers.
