About this book

Worthy Opponents: William T. Sherman and Joseph E. Johnston : Antagonists in War -- Friends in Peace by Longacre, Edward G.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781401600914.

William T. Shermans burning of Atlanta helped reelect Abraham Lincoln. In contrast, if Confederate President Jefferson Davis had left Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, one of its most effective generals,in command of Atlantas defenses, the city might have been preserved. Edward Longacre offers a new perspective on Shermans and Johnstons military histories, including their clashes at Vicksburg, Kennesaw Mountain, and Bentonville, where they negotiated surrender terms. After the War they became friends, to such an extent that Johnston was a pallbearer at Shermans 1891 funeral.
