It was a daring and unprecedented maneuver, extending his army far beyond supply lines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut it was successful, and brought the South's infrastructure and economy to its knees. The Operation was devastating to Georgia and the Confederacy. Sherman himself estimated that the campaign had inflicted $100 million in damage in 1864 dollars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the march was not without controversy. The scorched-earth policy of the campaign made Sherman's name despised in the South. In this fascinating report, Sherman makes his official accounting to congress for his action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.","brand":"Big Byte Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112078000368,"sku":"2940149498192","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149498192_p0.jpg?v=1763717939","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149498192","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
