Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell." A firm and loyal friend to those who stuck by him, especially his close adherent the future President U.S. Grant of whom he wrote; "Grant stood by me when I was crazy and I stood by him when he was drunk and now we stand by each other."However, perhaps understandably the majority of the memoirs relate to his great achievements as a soldier during the upheavals of the Civil War. They are as detailed and vivid as any other recollections written of the Civil War and the author displays a rare knack of explaining the operations in light of the wider struggle.Highly recommended.This edition of the great General's memoirs is the second edition which was revised and amended from the first after inaccuracies had been corrected and as such is the definitive article. 606 $aAutobiographies$7Generated by AI 606 $aGenerals$zUnited States$7Generated by AI 615 0$aAutobiographies 615 0$aGenerals 700 $aSherman$b William Tecumseh$0458798 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163175503321 996 $aMemoirs of General Sherman - 2nd.
