A gripping, definitive, New York Times–bestselling account of Sherman's legendary and destructive march through Georgia. "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." —The Wall Street Journal Award-winning Civil War historian Noah Andre Trudeau has written a fascinating account that will stand as the last word on General William Tecumseh Sherman's epic march—a targeted strategy aimed to break not only the Confederate army but an entire society as well. Sherman's swath of destruction spanned more than sixty miles in width and virtually cut Georgia in two. He led more than sixty,zero Union troops to blaze a path from Atlanta to Savannah, ordering his men to burn crops, kill livestock, and lay waste to everything that fed the Rebel war machine. Told through the intimate and engrossing writings of Sherman's soldiers and the civilians who suffered in their wake, Southern Storm paints a vibrant picture of an event that would forever change America's course. "Trudeau succeeds in constructing a seamless historical narrative out of the bits and pieces of human memory. . . . And he does so with both a historian's discipline and a novelist's eye for the telling detail." —The Los Angeles Times "Vivid and fascinating. . . . Trudeau deserves praise for recognizing the need to revisit in detail this seemingly familiar chapter in American military history." —The Washington Post Book World
