Another winner from Tim Smith. Has everything you want in a campaign book: compelling narrative, clear communication of movements, good mix of personal accounts, discussion of impact of terrain, incisive analysis of commander decisions, excellent maps and plenty of them. This book imparts a complete familiarity with what happened at Champion Hill, when and why, as well as situating it in the context of the campaign, with discussion of events preceding and following the battle. The final chapter is a unique "what happened to them later" series of each of the major figures discussed in the book.
I got this because I thoroughly enjoyed Smith's "Shiloh". This earlier work is just as rewarding.… (meer)

This 2014 book is the new standard for the Battle of Shiloh. Thorough and definitive yet highly readable. The author brings two unique approaches to the battle: first, a detailed discussion of the geography of the battlefield. The hourglass image does a wonderful job of helping picture what is going on in this chaotic struggle. Second, Smith is the first author to spend the justified detail on the SECOND day of the battle. It was a lot harder fought than you may have realized. Smith takes 150 pages for the second day. Others such as Wiley Sword summarized it in 40 pages or less.… (meer)
Excellent history of Shiloh. Places as much emphasis on the second day as on the first. Tackles a few myths. For example, the Union soldiers were not completely surprised and unprepared for the initial assault. Likewise, Smith argues that the Confederates were fairly strong on day two, despite the fact that that their commanders did little reorganization during the night. Smith defends Lew Wallace who was maligned by Grant. Lots of emphasis on lower level commanders (brigades, regiments, companies) and their actions. All well told.… (meer)

Overview: Tracing the life of the highest-ranking American military officer to die in combat during the Civil War, this new biography explores both the man and the soldier.
Take-aways: Since he died early in the war, the impact of Johnston’s death on Confederate leadership is often overlooked. Use this recent scholarship to update course materials.
