Description
A detailed and authoritative account of the pivotal campaign that led to the Battle of Antietam, a turning point in the American Civil War. In September 1862, Confederate General Robert E. Lee launched a bold invasion of Maryland, seeking to force a decisive battle that could determine the fate of the Union. This first installment of a two-volume study by D. Scott Hartwig explores the events leading up to the battle, from the return of George B. McClellan as commander of the Army of the Potomac to the siege and capture of Harpers Ferry, and ultimately, to the eve of the Battle of Antietam. The campaign that followed was marked by intense fighting, including the daylong Battle of South Mountain, and had far-reaching consequences for the war. Hartwig's meticulous research and engaging narrative bring this complex and often contentious period to life, providing a richly detailed understanding of the events that shaped the course of the Civil War. Through its detailed examination of the Maryland Campaign, this book offers a compelling and authoritative exploration of a pivotal moment in American history.
