Sherman’s Georgia Campaign from the Ground Up

Lee B. Kennett’s history centers on Sherman’s 1864 campaign through Georgia, tracing the movement from the skirmish at Buzzard Roost Gap to Savannah ten months later. The book places military operations alongside the experiences of the soldiers and civilians caught in the campaign, giving equal attention to the invasion’s human and strategic dimensions. Sherman appears as a central, complicated figure in an account concerned with his attack on the Confederacy’s industrial and military heartland. By following the campaign across Georgia, Kennett examines a pivotal Civil War event and its role in the collapse of the Old South.
