Loading... Shiloh, 1862 (edition 2012)by Winston Groom
Outstanding book about Civil War. Mr Groom has a way of combining facts about the battle that is more than just history, although the history is really great. I have the added benefit of having visited the battlefield just a month ago. His bibliography alone is huge. I would recommend to any person, even one who might not be interested in descriptions of battles. ( )
A very readable and well organized narrative of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Well documented and researched. Especially readable due to using written accounts of participants as key vehicles. I will be visiting this battlefield in just over a month. Reading this work will give me perspective and insight. Good general account of the battle, with some interesting individual stories. Occassional factual errors. Outstanding book about Civil War. Mr Groom has a way of combining facts about the battle that is more than just history, although the history is really great.
