Bannister immerses the reader in the mud and smoke of Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee, chronicling the harrowing experiences of soldiers on both sides as Union and Confederate forces clash in a desperate struggle that would claim over 23,000 casualties and reshape the entire trajectory of the war. The novel captures the fog of combat with visceral immediacy, presenting the confusion, courage, and moral reckoning that define men under fire.\n\nBannister, a British psychologist and novelist of considerable range, brings an outsider's analytical clarity to one of America's most defining conflicts, illuminating the human cost of industrialised warfare with unflinching precision. His prose is lean and propulsive, anchoring grand historical forces in the intimate, mortal decisions of individual soldiers. A rare uncorrected proof from Alfred A. Knopf, New York, this edition represents a privileged glimpse into the novel before its final revision — a collector's artefact that leaves one wondering: what secrets did the final text reveal that this proof had yet to surrender?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948307419355,"sku":"2026100012482-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/68914533-9453-4506-b663-817d6285d2db.png?v=1793104357","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012482-secondhand-long-day-at-shiloh","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
