Originally published in 1981, Long Day at Shiloh recreates the first twenty-four hours of one of the crucial battles of the American Civil War: the Battle of Shiloh. In a series of short, cinematic takes, the book transports readers to Pittsburg Landing and into the lives of the men in the Union camp. It provides close views into the imagined thoughts and actions of individual soldiers on the eve of battle, and depicts their attack by Confederate troops on April 6 1862. Long Day at Shiloh is a detailed historical novel offering insight into the events, trials, losses, frustrations and exhilarations of combat during the Battle of Shiloh, as the author has imagined them.

Originally published in 1986, this was a new and completely updated edition of the book which, since 1970 had introduced a whole generation in English psychology to Kelly's theory of personal constructs. By setting out a broadly designed and experimentally illustrated view of people as self-inventing explorers and interpreters of their world it challenged the 'mechanical man' of orthodox psychology. It proved a source of radically new ideas in psychotherapy, education and industry. This revised edition shows how the theory's professional applications have spread ever wider, while many have realised that personal construct psychology contains, for them, the core of a personal philosophy.
