{"product_id":"memoirs-isbn-9780140437980","title":"Memoirs","description":"Before his spectacular career as General of the Union forces, William Tecumseh Sherman experienced decades of failure and depression. Drifting between the Old South and new West, Sherman witnessed firsthand many of the critical events of early nineteenth-century America: the Mexican War, the gold rush, the banking panics, and the battles with the Plains Indians. It wasn't until his victory at Shiloh, in 1862, that Sherman assumed his legendary place in American history. After Shiloh, Sherman sacked Atlanta and proceeded to burn a trail of destruction that split the Confederacy and ended the war. His strategy forever changed the nature of warfare and earned him eternal infamy throughout the South.\u003cp\u003eSherman's \u003ci\u003eMemoirs\u003c\/i\u003e evoke the uncompromising and deeply complex general as well as the turbulent times that transformed America into a world power.

Credited with the saying \"War is hell\" and a staunch advocate for total war, Sherman was a longtime companion of Ulysses S. Grant. His reputation as a skilled military strategist arose from his leadership in campaigns such as the Battle of Shiloh and the 60,000-man March to the Sea, weakening the resolve of the South and paving the way to victory for the Union Army. After Grant became president in 1869, Sherman took over as general commander of the US Army, a position which he held until he retired in 1884.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Fellman\u003c\/b\u003e was a prolific historian of the nineteenth-century United States and a professor emeritus of history at Simon Fraser University in Canada.
