Summary:	"By turns he has been called a savior and a barbarian, a hero and a villain, a genius and a madman-but whatever you call William Tecumseh Sherman, you must admit he is utterly fascinating. Forging an identity in the fire of war, the unconventional general proved to everyone at Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, Georgia, and in the Carolinas that, while he was unorthodox, he was also brilliant and creative. More than that, he was eminently successful and played an important role in Union victory"--
