War Like the Thunderbolt: The Battle and Burning of Atlanta   Russell S. Bonds
Well-written, detailed history of Sherman’s campaign to take Atlanta and its aftermath. Excellent, extensive  use of primary sources for everything. Though Bonds is not a “professional historian,” this is a very good history of events that I find deeply interesting. Sherman is my namesake, and the more I learn about him, the more I like and admire him. I really liked the afterward. Well done and very interesting.
