The March - E. L. Doctorow

Descriere The March - E. L. Doctorow

In 1864, after Union general William Tecumseh Sherman burned Atlanta, he marched his 60,000 troops east through Georgia to the sea, and then up into the Carolinas. Only a master novelist could so powerfully and compassionately render the lives of those who marched. \nWINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD \nWINNER OF THE PEN/FAULKNER AWARD \nNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \nIn 1864, Union general William Tecumseh Sherman marched his sixty thousand troops through Georgia to the sea, and then up into the Carolinas. The army fought off Confederate forces, demolished cities, and accumulated a borne-along population of freed blacks and white refugees until all that remained was the dangerous transient life of the dispossessed and the triumphant. In E. L. Doctorow's hands the great march becomes a floating world, a nomadic consciousness, and an unforgettable reading experience with awesome relevance to our own times.\n
