Shiloh April 5, 2012

The Battle of Shiloh caused more casualties in two days than the entire Revolutionary War. As Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump and The Crimson Tide, reveals in his new National Geographic book, Shiloh, the battle destroyed everyone’s assumptions that Civil War victory would come quickly and cheaply. Hear Groom’s account of this epochal battle on the eve of its 150th anniversary.

Also, before the event, we will have a drawing for free copies of National Geographic’s acclaimed Civil War map, courtesy of National Geographic Maps.
