I highly recommend this book. Once I started it, I did not put it down until I finished the last page.

Weintraub's Civl War

Prof. Stanley Weintraub's contributions to literary and social history and biography are well-known (G.B.Shaw, Beardsley, Victoria and Albert, et.al.), some 30 books in all. In this most recent book, he turns to the Americam Civil War and CW buffs will be pleased with t he result. His unique ability to combine insightful personality portraits, solid factual underpinings and colorful historical detail makes for a fresh and enjoyable account of the famous "march to the sea" by Sherman. A great present for any Civil War fan, or for your own reading. (Prof. Emeritus Warren C. Robinson, author of "JEB Stuart and the Battle of Gettysburg."
