A Blaze of Glory is the first volume in a four-book series by Jeff Shaara, set in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. The book covers the Battle of Shiloh.[1][2][3] The title comes from a quote from future President James Garfield, who was present at the battle.
The novel takes place in the Spring of 1862 and focuses on Confederate Generals Albert Sidney Johnston and P. G. T. Beauregard, as well as then Colonel Nathan Bedford Forrest; and Union Generals Ulysses S. Grant, Don Carlos Buell, and William Tecumseh Sherman at the Battle of Shiloh.[4]
