Descriere
From the author of the acclaimed trilogy The Civil War: A Narrative--this fictional re-creation of the battle of Shiloh in April 1862 fulfills the standard set by his monumental history. "Each section of this book is excellent in its own right--imaginative, powerful, filled with precise visual details. A brilliant book".--The New York Times.
