Title: Serious Shiloh battle readers should look elsewhere
Review: This was, without a doubt, the most difficult book to read, not only on the Civil War but on any topic. The writer is extremely dis-jointed and each paragraph makes so many referrels to individuals and battle locations that the reader has no idea as to whether the individuals are members of the North or South. Names are injected that have no previous references. The maps, or lack thereof, only complicate the reading. There is no doubt the writer knows his Shiloh history, unfortunately, knowing it and being able to convey the knowledge in writing is certainly lacking. There are so many other texts available that make the battle of Shiloh interesting and easy to follow and enjoyable. This book was a struggle and certainly not enjoyable to read. Many photographs included were taken 30 -40 years after the battle. Not sure of the reason for that. I would suggest this book be a read only if no other book on Shiloh can be found.
