Description
This book analyzes the pivotal battle of Shiloh in 1862, the bloodiest fought by Americans up to that time, in which Albert Sidney Johnston's desperate effort to reverse Confederate fortunes in the heartland fell just short of decisive victory. • Includes photographs and maps that clarify the historical events of Shiloh • Reveals how key decisions by several generals, sometimes based on erroneous information, had the potential to change the outcome of the battle
