Sherman was a very good writer, and it is fascinating to be listening to his strategy for winning, planning every step, taking great care for his men, and even for the enemy. This book is definitely worth the time, and the reader convinced me I was listening to Sherman himself!

I really don't understand the thinking by Librivox in allowing such a seminal work to be chopped up and then regurgitated piecemeal. Looking at David Wales' three separate abridgements, it appears that about 75% of Sherman's memoir is missing.

Reading will done in spite of some generally dry content other than for the military aficionado. You can tell that Sherman knew what he was talking about!
