		Sherman contributed a great deal to the war, and was partially responsible for the war ending when it did.
		Sherman had much reason to dislike many people, but never, in reading this work, did I find a single instance of him trying to debunk the character of any man. Even Stanton, the man who falsely represented Sherman's actions, receives fair treatment at the general's hands.
		Sherman's book illustrates how much the role of a general is a day to day slog filled with huge amounts of correspondence over supplies, allocation of trains, keeping subordinates informed of what is going on and the minuture of managing an army.
