4.0

This was a solid biography on Philip Sheridan. There isn't a lot of scholarship on Sheridan compared to some of his Civil War contemporaries, so I found this book to be interesting and informative. It really clipped along, and I think I would have liked more information on Sheridan's Civil War service as I felt the Civil War part of the book flew by. It would have been nice to flesh out his Civil War service a bit. But overall, a fine biography on an interesting man.
