Book Overview

Osprey's examination of the Battle of Antietam, which was one of the critical battles of the American Civil War (1861-1865). 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. This title examines the build-up to Hooker's attack, and details the famous clashes at Bloody Lane and Burnside Bridge.

"Antietam 1862" Meets The Test!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago

I found this book to be one of the best in covering the Battle of Antietam in a general form. In order to study the battle with more detail one must select those available as to individual units, armies or individuals. The publisher, Osprey Publishing,has provided an excellent and attractive format. Mr. Norman Stevens is to congratulated on this his first publication at least with this publisher. The details such as maps, illustrations and list of units in "Order of Battle" are excellent. I would recommend this book for any student of the war.
