Download Shiloh Free PDF Novel by Shelby Foote (1952 ) Historical Civil War Novel









"Shiloh is the best novel of the Civil War I have ever read. This is a remarkable achievement . . . a work of art."Van Allen Bradley Chicago Daily NewsThe "hero" of this novel is a battle, Bloody Shiloh, fought in early April 1862, and the story is told through the eyes of the men who were there, alternately Union and Confederate, disposed around the field, so that the two-day action is covered from side to side, flank to flank, in steady chronology. The reader, when he finishes, will have lived through one of the really important crises of our nation: he will have been at Shiloh. Shiloh was received with great critical acclaim when first published over two decades ago. Today it is regarded as a classic of Civil War literature."Each section of this book is excellent in its own right imaginative, powerful, filled with precise visual details. A brilliant book."
