Der Marsch by E. L. Doctorow
Set during General Sherman's campaign through the Confederate South, the novel follows a wide cast of characters — Union soldiers, emancipated slaves, Confederate civilians and officers — as the chaos of a relentless military march upends lives and social structures; through intersecting voices and episodic scenes it depicts the brutality and moral ambiguity of war, the hopes and betrayals of newly freed people, and the destructive sweep of total warfare that transforms towns, bonds between people, and the meaning of freedom in a nation remaking itself.
