Marszalek’s portrait of Sherman as a man who sought order in all aspects of his life provides valuable insight into Sherman’s military genius and his personal failings. These five books have been chosen because each, in its unique way, illuminates the man, not the myth, offering compelling portraits of one of the Civil War’s inscrutable figures. Of all the Sherman biographies, this has to be one of the most exhaustive.
