The Civil War battle waged on September 17, 1852, at Antietam Creek, Maryland, was one of the bloodiest in the nation's history: On this single day, the battle claimed nearly 23,000 causalities. In ... [this book the author] draws on a remarkable cache of diaries, dispatches, and letters to recreate the vivid drama of Antietam as experienced not only by its leaders but also by its soldiers, both Union and Confederate. Combining brilliant military analysis with narrative history of enormous power ... [this book] is the definitive work on this climatic and bitter struggle."--Page 4 of cover
