Publisher Synopsis
"Bailey correctly views Sherman's 'March to the Sea' and Hood's ill-fated Tennessee campaign as 'two halves of the whole.'(xv) She skillfully interweaves social, politial, economic, and military issues. The result is a synthesis in the style of the 'new' military history that offers a more comprehensive look at war and its impact on society. . . . An insightful model for integrating political, social, and economic issues into military history in an interesting narrative--not an easy task."--John D./i>--John D. Fowler "West Virginia History " Read more...
