Description
An illustrated and detailed account on Antietam, one of the critical battles of the American Civil War.
The fortunes of the South were riding high after the resounding victory at Second Manassas. While Bragg and Kirby Smith invaded Kentucky, Lee's invasion of Maryland was intended to maintain the Southern offensive momentum and to win the recognition of the European powers. But his bold plan was compromised and at the Antietam River the Army of Northern Virginia was fighting for its very life.
Featuring battle maps and profiles of the commanders on both sides, this title examines the build-up to Hooker's attack, and details the famous clashes at Bloody Lane and Burnside Bridge.
