I really liked this book. Written in Doctorow's usual style of isolating his individual characters' story lines by chapter throughout the book, showing how their activities intersect and diverge from one another. A historical account of Sherman's march Georgia and the Carolinas with insights into the life of one of history's more enigmatic charaters. The action as seen through the eyes of various individuals involved at different levels of participation is brisk and riveting. Highly recommended.
