{"product_id":"9781433258367","title":"Sherman's March: An Eyewitness History of the Cruel Campaign that Helped End a Crueler War","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeneral William Tecumseh Sherman has gone down in history as the man who said, \"War is hell\" and who waged it so fiercely as to leave a permanent scar on the Southern psyche. But the history books aren't always right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSherman's March\u003c\/i\u003e, Civil War historian Richard Wheeler offers a new view of Sherman, as a man of compassion as well as conviction and as a military leader who was ahead of his time in understanding that the destruction of supplies and property—the means to wage war—was as important as meeting and destroying enemy armies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheeler has created a seamless, highly readable yet historically accurate narrative by carefully selecting extracts from letters, diaries, memoirs, and first-person reports from the period and then linking them together with his own words. The result is a dramatically fresh and detailed account of this important campaign as one which, though highly destructive, doubtlessly shortened the Civil War appreciably, saving thousands of lives, Rebel as well as Yank.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47095252746480,"sku":"9781433258367","price":14.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433258367_p0.jpg?v=1763755146","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433258367","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
