Ge neral William Tecumseh Sherman’s
burning of Atlanta in 1864 established his
legacy as a ruthless leader. Yet Sherman
proved a far more complex character than
his legendary military tactics reveal, involv-
ing from a spirited student at West Point,
Sherman became a general who fought
in some of the Civil War’s most decisive
campaigns, including Shiloh, Vicksburg,
Chattanooga, Atlanta, and Savannah-------
all rendered here in graphic detail. James
Lee McDonough offers fresh insight into
how, lamenting the wars casualties, Sherman
sought its swift end by devastating Southern
resources in the Carolinas and on his famous
March to the Sea. Following the war, Sher-
man relentlessly paved the way west during
the Indian Wars as general-in-chief of the
U.S. Army. McDonough also reveals that,
despite Sherman’s many triumphs------and
hard-as-nails exterior-he was a man rid-
dled with self-doubt, tormented by fears
that history would pass him by and that he
would miss the chance to be of “service” to
his country.
Drawing on years of research and
“Old Gump’s” prolific coirespondence,
McDonough also delves into Sherman’s
dramatic personal life. The general had
a strained relationship with his wife (and
foster sister), Ellen, was plagued by personal
debts, and lived much of his life separated
from his family. Sherman was devastated by
the death of his young son Willy, who fell ill
soon after visiting the general on the Vicks-
burg battlefield. WilliamTecumseh Sherman
is a meticulously researched, gripping explo-
ration of the American icon whose military,
political, and personal legacy reaches far
beyond his time, and it will stand as the defin-
itive biography of the man and the general
for years to come. /
