Summary
"The Battle of Shiloh took place April 6-7, 1862, between the Union Army of the Tennessee under General Ulysses S. Grant and the Confederate Army of Mississippi under General Albert Sidney Johnston. Johnston launched a surprise attack on Grant but was mortally wounded during the battle. General Beauregard, taking over command, chose not to press the attack through the night, and Grant, reinforced with troops from the Army of the Ohio, counterattacked the morning of April 7th and turned the tide of the battle. Intended for a general readership, Decisions at Shiloh introduces readers to critical decisions made by both Union and Confederate commanders who attempted to achieve strategic and tactical victories under considerable duress. Like previous volumes in this series, this book contains maps, photographs, and a guided tour of the battlefield"--
