Description

About the Book

Daniel presents an important reassessment of the Civil War battle that left more dead and wounded than all previous conflicts in American history combined--and stripped both the Union and the Confederacy of the illusion that victory was just around the corner. photo insert.

Book Synopsis

The battle of Shiloh, fought in April 1862 in the wilderness of south central Tennessee, marked a savage turning point in the Civil War.

In this masterful book, Larry Daniel re-creates the drama and the horror of the battle and discusses in authoritative detail the political and military policies that led to Shiloh, the personalities of those who formulated and executed the battle plans, the fateful misjudgments made on both sides, and the heroism of the small-unit leaders and ordinary soldiers who manned the battlefield.
