I just finished, "What the Yankees Did to Us: Sherman's Bombardment and Wrecking of Atlanta," by Stephen Davis. Very impressed with the research Dr. Davis did in writing this book, there are so many first hand accounts from both sides. Before reading this book, I had only a small inkling of what the civilians of Atlanta had to endure. Whether you think Sherman was justified or not in what he did to the civilians in Atlanta, with Dr. Davis book you will know the detailed facts about exactly what happened. Very interesting read, strongly recommend it.
