Winston Groom (Get a copy).
Groom presents Shiloh, fought on April 6-7 in western
Tennessee, as a turning point in the war. After setting the stage, Groom takes the reader
to Pittsburg Landing, the nearest town to the battle, a few days beforehand. Groom follows individual soldiers and small units as well as the larger shape of
the battle. The emphasis on the human element gives the
book a power that sets it apart from most military histories. Essential reading
for Civil War buffs and a great overview of a key battle for neophytes.--Kirkus
