Review title: Good for filling in details
Product review: I am not a historian, nor am I particularly a history nut. But I got interested in the relationship between Grant and Sherman after re-watching Ken Burns' Civil War series (thank you, Amazon Prime!). This book is very readable and fills in a lot of the details that could not, of necessity, be covered in the Burns documentary. Occasionally, I find the descriptions of the battles somewhat boring, but they do not go on for pages and pages. And the details about each man's family life were very helpful, as were stories of each man attempting to be successful in private life before the Civil War. I was hoping to read a little more about Sherman's occasional manic-like tendencies, and there is some of that in the book, but I think I will have to read a bio just of Sherman to get more on that aspect of him.
