Shiloh by Shelby Foote

4.0

A great book by a great writer. Written in 1952 it is surprisingly really, REALLY graphic. The book tells the story of the battle of Shiloh in April 1862. Instead of following one character through the entire book each chapter is told from the point of view of a different person (or in one case a squad) from the Union and Cofederate armies. It usually takes me 1.5 to 2 weeks to read a book, but this one I finished in just over three night. Great stuff.
