The Man the South Still Hates As a boy, Sherman hung a cat nine times to be certain it was dead. As a general, he launched a campaign of vicious destruction against an exhausted South. It follows. Often depressed, sometimes on the verge of suicide, he was a case history of over-compensation. Ergo, overkill was his modus operandi. To his men, Sherman was an indestructible and infallible leader. The press vilified him. In Washington, he was underestimated, but Grant knew his worth. Miers reveals the tormented soul who dealt the coup d'grace to the South.
