This novel dramatizes Sherman's March across Georgia, and the Carolinas, as seen by slaves, common soldiers, and plantation families. War is Hell, as Sherman said later, everything changes for many of these Southerners. This book and Killer Angels are the two best novels about the Civil War at the front of the armies I have seen.
