William T Sherman and the Clausewitzian Trinity
Abstract
In March of 1964 William T. Sherman assumed command of the Union forces fighting in the western theater of operations. Up to that point, his military record was mixed, with a number of limited successes at First Manassas, Shiloh and Vicksburg as well as stinging failures at Chickasaw Bluffs and Missionary Ridge. Yet lacking any better candidate, Grant called on the tall, peripatetic Sherman to continue operations in the west while he assumed command of Union operations in the east.
