There are both a hardcover and softcover version of this book (with different editors). We prefer the hardcover, mostly because it improves the photographs.

This autobiography is probably the best single record of the mind of the man who devestated the state of Georgia during the Civil War.

As a historian I, quite frankly, prefer fact rather than the conjecture Mr. Fellman seems to be good at. We have our own opinions of Mr. Sherman, and in spite of the fact that he destroyed half of our state, they are nowhere near as negative as the author's. A little light on fact to be considered a biography, we have included it here because it is a very popular book.

We read this book after Citizen Sherman and are somewhat perturbed at the modern desire to analyze a historic figure based on written records, which Mr. Hirshson does. We must admit that Hirshson is somewhat less negative than Mr. Fellman, but I prefer my history without psychology. More factual history than Mr. Fellman, so this one is better.
