Shiloh #1-3
The Shiloh Series #1-3
Three for the price of two, the first three novels of the Shiloh Series from best selling author Phillip Bryant. Get the stories from the war in the western theater, 1862, in one convenient package!
They Met at Shiloh is the catalyst moment for tens of thousands of soldiers as their first horrific encounter with the reality of what the war truly is. On Shiloh's fields a disgraced Methodist minister, a Mississippi youth, a rough Texan, and a Missourian Unionist contend not only with their own demons but also with the clash of arms that swirls around them, altering courses and lives forever.
A Certain Death is what the survivors of Shiloh know is coming as the Federal army at Pittsburg Landing prepares to march on Corinth, MS. The Confederate siege lines are long and well prepared and a direct assault will leave many more comrades dead upon the fields. For Confederates captured at Shiloh, their journey takes them to Ohio and a miserable existence behind ten foot high log fencing. A trip home for one to accept a commission and a plan to break out of prison for a handful of Confederates bring foes together in unlikely accord.
Iuka to Corinth will complete a plan by Confederates to wrest control of Northern Mississippi from Union control and trap an army between two superior forces. An escaped Confederate and the slave that got away come face to face on a river boat and the Confederate has a dilemma: finish escaping or finish what he'd started before the war. A recruiting trip from Ohio to deliver new volunteers down the Cumberland River to Nashville is diverted to the Tennessee River and to a familiar place: Pittsburg Landing. The boat the Confederates are on is diverted to the same location. The Union crises in Mississippi could wreck freedom for the runaway slave, threaten life and limb for his captor, and bring untimely death to a newly minted chaplain and his brother.

Interweaving tale of courage and brotherly love in Civil War
I really like the way this books keeps your interest and interweaves the lives of these soldiers both North and South. The courage to stand like "Fresh Fish" in the face of overwhelming enemy numbers, the look at the relationships between blacks and whites without prejudice, and the loss of a "pard" in the midst of galling fire. Well worth the read!

One of my favorite authors. Bryant delves deeper into the Civil War than what we learn in history classes. He makes history come alive for me and spurred my interest in visiting historical sites in the US.

A surprisingly good and enjoyable read
This is a trilogy, a it takes a bit to read but the scope of the story is impressive. It starts with a detailed novelization of the battle of Shiloh, one so bloody that the winning general, U.S. Grant, was relieved of his command. It follows the stories of several men in both sides, Germans from Midwest, Southern farmers, former slave hunters, plantation owners, and ministers, and how the battle (and the following conflicts at Iuka and Corinth affected the men and their lives. I've read Shelby Foote's amazing civil war trilogy, but this set of novels explains the human cost of war even better. The characters and situations are believable relatable. The battle sequences are horrible, with the loss of life, limbs, and friends, honor and bravery and horror. War.
