Sherman: A Soldier’s Life

Lee Kennett, an emeritus professor from the University of Georgia had various reasons for taking a look at the life of William Tecumseh Sherman. Foremost, I suspect, was a desire to get to know the man who had caused such destruction to his home state during the Civil War.

This book adds much to Sherman’s Memoirs, filling in blanks that the general decided were not that important to the story he wanted to tell.
