Description
Liddell Hart considered General Sherman the dominant military genius of the American Civil War. To prove this point, he traced all of Sherman's military campaigns - from the first Bull Run debacle to general Joseph Johnston's surrender in 1865. "Sherman" is not only a military history - it is a biography and a work of strategic theory. In it, Sherman emerges lifelike and dramatic, and the philosophical and military foundations of his thoughts and deeds are deftly elucidated.
Author Biography
Captain Basil Henry Liddell Hart (1895-1970) was one of the foremost military theorists of our time. His many books include Scipio Africanus, Lawrence of Arabia, The Rommel Papers, and Sherman (all available from Da Capo Press/ Perseus Books Group).
