Sun Tzu gets a good press for a Chinese guy who's been dead for 2500 years. You'll note that means his writings were extant when Hood was living -- as well as when Grant and Sherman were living. But Grant and Sherman applied concepts that would have been familiar to Sun Tzu. In fact, President Lincoln applied very good concepts also -- right from the start of the war. He had a very good strategy from the very start of the war. For their part, the so-called CSA eschewed strategy, as such. The so-called CSA put their faith in a vague idea that Europeans would fight their battles for them, but it didn't happen that way.
