      I am in no way proud of the fact that human slavery was a part of our history as a nation, but I was fascinated by this story of Sherman's march through Georgia and the two Carolinas. The characters demonstrated that there are human faces assigned to any war---Pearl, the white offspring of a slave and plantation "massah" who nursed ailing soldiers of both sides; the buffoons Arly & Will, who changed in & out of Union and Confederate uniforms whenever it served their purpose; Miz Emily Thompson, a southern belle who took up with a Union doctor after she lost everything; and Sherman, the almighty Union General who machinated the destruction of the south, but cried when he got the news of Willie Hardee's death, son of Confederate Gen. Joseph Hardee. For anyone who loves historical fiction, this is a great read. I would've given it four stars, except about 3/4's way through the book it seemed to get a little bogged down in details of skirmishes that to my way of thinking were unnecessary. But over-all, a great book.
