Composed almost entirely of Midwesterners and molded into a lean,
skilled fighting machine by Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh
Sherman, the Army of the Tennessee marched directly into the heart
of the Confederacy and won major victories at Shiloh and at the
rebel strongholds of Vicksburg and Atlanta.
Acclaimed historian Steven Woodworth has produced the first full
consideration of this remarkable unit that has received less
prestige than the famed Army of the Potomac but was responsible for
the decisive victories that turned the tide of war toward the
Union. The Army of the Tennessee also shaped the fortunes and
futures of both Grant and Sherman, liberating them from civilian
life and catapulting them onto the national stage as their triumphs
grew.
A thrilling account of how a cohesive fighting force is forged by
the heat of battle and how a confidence born of repeated success
could lead soldiers to expect "nothing but victory."
