Description

Much of William Tecumseh Sherman's life was a battle for survival. When his father died, he was given to neighbors to raise. He developed a fierce sense of pride and an independent streak. Sherman graduated from West Point in 1840, then served in the army until he could no longer afford to support his family on his meager pay. For several years, he struggled to earn a living, first as a banker and then in other careers. Sherman had a unique perspective on the coming Civil War: he supported Southerners' rights to own slaves but he believed the preservation of the Union trumped all other concerns. His volatile temper matched his fiery red hair, and Sherman joined the U.S. Army looking for a fight. He found a sympathetic commander in Ulysses S. Grant and together the two dominated the western theater of the war. Sherman made his name and his fearsome reputation when he burned Atlanta, and then began his famous march to the sea. He and his troops cut a swath of devastation through Georgia, making good on their promise to hear the South howl. Sherman was hailed as a hero after the war and made a career out of speaking at public engagements. He retained a post in the army and firmly rejected all pleas to run for political office. His legacy remains a difficult one: though he is credited with helping to preserve the Union, he and his troops inflicted much suffering on the people of the South. Victory in Destruction: The Story of William Tecumseh Sherman tells the story of how a boy from Ohio became one of the more respected-and feared-generals in history. Book jacket.
