	Victor Davis Hanson on War on National Review Online
		Battle — again so unlike nature — brings with it bothersome and nagging ideas of preventability, culpability, causation, and responsibility married to the lingering notions of what-if?, whose fault?, and he, not it, did this.
		Battle is the raucous transformer of history because it also accelerates in a matter of minutes the usually longer play of chance, skill, and fate.
		Battles really are the wildfires of history, out of which the survivors float like embers and then land to burn far beyond the original conflagration.

	The Soul Of Battle
		In contrast, three lesser-known generals were as great in battle and far greater in war; the killing they did and the magnificent armies they led were to save not take lives, to free not enslave, and to liberate not annex ground.
		To Grant and his army, men — in the general and brutal sense of sheer manpower that shot iron into the flesh of the enemy — were the key to Northern victory; in contrast, the Westerners under Sherman believed that their particular men alone would both win and survive the war.
		Before they were removed to the opposite bank of the Potomac, the Westerners in camp habitually picked fights with Easterners, drank, were disobedient, and required Sherman himself to ride out into the streets at night to calm his men.
