" I cried at the end. "

" A great narrative on the relationship between Grant and Sherman. I've read a bio of Grant, and this makes me want to read more about Sherman. Read by the author at a decent pace, and only five discs. "

" This book was a god read and quite enlightening. I learned a lot that I did not already know about the Civil War and about these two impressive military men and their unique relationship with one another. "

" Very well researched and written dual biography of the two great leaders, and, above all, friends, who together planned and fought the battles that won the American Civil War. "

" The part about the Grand Review of the Union Armies had me in tears. But, I'm still trying to understand what made Grant an effective General. This book comes close to nailing that down, but it would be nice to see a comparative study of generals "

" I thought this book was awesome. I only got into Civil War history a few years ago, but what I've read so far has all been pretty great. "
