I have never read a better, more vivid, more understandable

account of the savage battling between Grant's and Lee's armies....

Foote stays with the human strife and suffering, and unlike most

Southern commentators, he does not take sides. In objectivity, in

range, in mastery of detail in beauty of language and feeling for

the people involved, this work surpasses anything else on the

subject.... It stands alongside the work of the best of

them.--New Republic

Shelby Foote was born on November 7, 1916 in Greenville,

Mississippi, and attended school there until he entered the

University of North Carolina. During World War II he served as a

captain of field artillery but never saw combat. After World War II

he worked briefly for the Associated Press in their New York

bureau. In 1953 he moved to Memphis, where he lived for the

remainder of his life.

Foote was the author of six novels: Tournament, Follow Me

Down, Love in a Dry Season, Shiloh, Jordan

County, and September, September. He is best remembered

for his 3-volume history The Civil War: A Narrative, which

took twenty years to complete and resulted in his being a featured

expert in Ken Burns' acclaimed Civil War documentary. Over the

course of his writing career, Foote was also awarded three

Guggenheim fellowships.

Shelby Foote died in 2005 at the age of 88.

【Review】

.

"An unparalleled achievement, an American Iliad, a unique work uniting the scholarship of the historian and the high readability of the first-class novelist."

—Walker Percy

.

"Foote is a novelist who temporarily abandoned fiction to apply the novelist's shaping hand to history: his model is not Thucydides but The Iliad, and his story, innocent of notes and formal bibliography, has a literary design. Not by accident...but for cathartic effect is so much space given to the war's unwinding, it's final shudders and convulsions.... To read this chronicle is an awesome and moving experience. History and literature are rarely so thoroughly combined as here; one finishes this volume convinced that no one need undertake this particular enterprise again."

—Newsweek

.

"I have never read a better, more vivid, more understandable account of the savage battling between Grant's and Lee's armies.... Foote stays with the human strife and suffering, and unlike most Southern commentators, he does not take sides. In objectivity, in range, in mastery of detail in beauty of language and feeling for the people involved, this work surpasses anything else on the subject.... It stands alongside the work of the best of them."

—New Republic

.

“The most written-about war in history has, with this completion of Shelby Foote’s trilogy, been given the epic treatment it deserves.”

—Providence Journal
