SynopsisThe heavy fog that shrouded Antietam Creek on the morning of September 17, 1862, was disturbed by the boom of Federal artillery fire. The carnage and chaos began in the East Woods and Cornfield and continued inexorably on as McClellan s and Lee s troops collided at the West Woods, Bloody Lane and Burnside Bridge. Though outnumbered, the Rebels still managed to hold their ground until nightfall. Chief historian of the Antietam National Battlefield, Ted Alexander renders a fresh and gripping portrayal of the battle, its aftermath, the effect on the civilians of Sharpsburg and the efforts to preserve the hallowed spot. Maps by master cartographer Steven Stanley add further depth to Alexander s account of the Battle of Antietam.", A fresh and gripping recounting of the seminal battle is told in this exciting history.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Masterful Account of America’s Bloodiest Day
Ted Alexander’s The Battle of Antietam: The Bloodiest Day is an absolute gem for anyone passionate about Civil War history. Blending compelling narrative with meticulous research, Alexander captures not only the strategic importance of September 17, 1862, but also the human drama that unfolded on those fields near Sharpsburg, Maryland. The book provides a vivid retelling of the carnage and chaos of Antietam, yet balances battlefield movements with personal stories of the soldiers who lived—and died—through the day. His clear prose makes complex maneuvers understandable, while the inclusion of contemporary accounts adds authenticity and emotional depth. What sets this volume apart is its accessibility. Both seasoned historians and casual readers will find it engaging, thanks to Alexander’s ability to distill vast amounts of information without sacrificing detail. The foreword by Jeffry D. Wert adds further weight, situating Antietam within the broader scope of the war. The History Press has once again delivered a beautifully produced entry in its Civil War Sesquicentennial Series. The illustrations and maps bring the battlefield to life, and the narrative itself honors both the valor and the tragedy of the men who fought there. In short, The Battle of Antietam is essential reading. Whether you’re a Civil War scholar, a battlefield visitor, or simply someone seeking to understand why this day was such a pivotal moment in American history, this book delivers in every regard.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
