THE HUGE MAN WALKED the one hundred yards down the Main Street hill to the house of his newly widowed neighbor.
Description
*Sherman: A Soldier's Passion for Order* is the biography of William Tecumseh Sherman, the Civil War commander known for his "destructive war" policy against Confederates and as a consummate soldier. With a new preface by the author, this award-winning book presents the general as a complicated man who, fearing anarchy, searched for the order that he hoped would make his life a success. This biography, which includes forty-six illustrations, effectively refutes misconceptions surrounding the controversial Union general and presents Sherman the man, not the myth.
First Sentence
When William T. Sherman published his memoirs in 1875, there already existed numerous articles about him and even a 512-page "Military Biography" by two friends, Colonel S. M. Bowman and Lieutenant Colonel R. B. Irwin.
