Sorry, no way five stars,

This review is from: Sherman: Merchant of Terror, Advocate of Peace (Hardcover)
This book was well worth the $5.95 plus S&H that I paid for it through Amazon. But if this is the best book a previous reviewer ever read, his or her choices have been few. The book is mostly a collection of quotations attributed to Sherman et als. It does, however, make some good points, such as on page 235 where he says that, "As of November 1864, the Civil War ceased being a war of reconciliation and became officially a war of conquest." He is also right on in relation to what was perhaps the Union's main reason for not bringing the war to conclusion sooner; i.e., not wanting to make reconstruction more difficult.
But five stars, no way. A three star rating is generous.

This review is from: Sherman: Merchant of Terror, Advocate of Peace (Hardcover)
This was arguably the greatest book that I have ever read on any topic. Not only was it a great account of General Willie T.'s life, but it also gave great insight into the real meaning of life. If anyone is looking for an answer to anything, then this is the book for you.
