| Publisher Description: New York Times Bestseller A gripping, definitive account of Sherman's legendary and destructive march through Georgia. "Mr. Trudeau's narrative is peppered with trenchant observations from Sherman, one of history's more quotable military leaders. . . . Mr. Trudeau accomplishes what he set out to do: march through the experience in all its detail." -- The Wall Street Journal In Southern Storm, award-winning Civil War historian Noah Andre Trudeau has written a fascinating account that will stand as the last word on General William Tecumseh Sherman's epic march--a targeted strategy aimed to break not only the Confederate army but an entire society as well. In rich detail, Trudeau explains why General Sherman's name is still anathema below the Mason-Dixon Line, especially in Georgia, where he is remembered as "the one who marched to the sea with death and devastation in his wake." Told through the intimate and engrossing diaries and letters of Sherman's soldiers and the civilians who suffered in their path, Southern Storm paints a vivid picture of an event that would forever change the course of America. |
