In this gripping telling of the first "great and terrible" battle of the Civil War, Groom describes the dramatic events of April 6 and 7, 1862, when a bold surprise attack on Ulysses S. Grant's encamped troops and the bloody battle that ensued would alter the timbre of the war.

Shiloh submitted by Varshini on July 31, 2019, 10:52pm This is a good book about the civil war. It was a bit boring at times for my taste. 3/5

A solid history of Shiloh submitted by m steve on July 18, 2020, 3:17pm Shiloh, Bloody April remains the definitive history on the battle. This one, however, is still worth the read.
