For what it does, this is a good introduction to Shiloh. I especially liked the tables and the sidebars.

[Curtiss · Rating 3 out of 5]

This description of the campaign which culminated in the Battle of Shiloh, is a little bit of a struggle to wade through, but is full of charts, maps, and side-bar entrees on various topics.
