| Publisher Description: William Tecumseh Sherman was an American soldier, businessman, educator, and author who served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He received recognition for his outstanding command of military strategy, as well as criticism for the harshness of the "scorched earth" policies that he implemented in conducting total war against the Confederate states.
