The Destructive War: William Tecumseh Sherman, Stonewall Jackson, and the Americans - Charles Royster

From the moment the Civil War began, says the author in this fearfully vivid book, partisans on both sides were calling not just for conquest but for extermination. And both sides found leaders who would oblige--in the persons of Sherman for the North and Jackson for the South. Winner of the Bancroft Prize in American History. 16 pages of photos.
