- Synopsis
- The book explores the Union army's policy of destructive attacks upon Southern property and civilian morale--how it evolved, what it was like in practice. Through comparisons with earlier European wars and through the testimony of Union soldiers and Southern civilians alike, Grimsley shows that Union soldiers exercised restraint even as they made war against the Confederate civilian population.
