Trudeau is an able veteran of the military side of the Civil War, and his latest book lives up to its predecessors. The research is thorough, the judgments mature and objective, and the writing crisp and moving. . . . Perhaps most interesting of all is the portrait of Sherman that emerges., "The march to the sea was in many ways "the day of jubilo," and in Trudeau it has found its Xenophon.", Trudeau develops a myth-busting theme, that Sherman's march was not a lark but a complex and risky military operation. Maps of daily marching routes let Civil War buffs follow the action in this detailed narrative., Mr. Trudeau's narrative is peppered with trenchant observations from Sherman, one of history's more quotable military leaders. . . . Mr. Trudeau accomplishes what he set out to do: march through the experience in all its detail., A sprawling and mesmerizing account of 'the March' that reminds the reader that General Sherman had no intention of waging a 'total war' against Confederate Georgia., Excellent ... Rich in detail ... Remarkably even-handed ... (Trudeau) imbues the narrative with a sense of immediacy, without sacrificing his view of the big picture., "Mr. Trudeau's narrative is peppered with trenchant observations from Sherman, one of history's more quotable military leaders. . . .

- p***p (47)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).Beautiful Music for Two String Instruments, Bk 3: 2 Violins by Samuel Applebaum (#403989405345)
