Industry Reviews
After the Civil War, the memoirs of its generals began embellishing the facts from the perspective of hindsight. Many stories of the Atlanta campaign had Union troops setting out from Chattanooga specifically to take the city and deprive the South of its manufacturing and transportation hub. Yet Gen. Sherman himself described a different strategy, one in which he focused on the forces of the Southern army before him and not on the conquest of cities. In fact, had Atlanta been the goal, there would have been no need for the devastating March to the Sea, says Garrison, a former associate dean of Emory University. He describes the taking of Atlanta in the context of what the city had grown to be by 1864 and reintroduces the authoritative voice of William Tecumseh Sherman. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
