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.The book, Antietam 1862: The Civil War's Bloodiest Day (Campaign #32) [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9781855323704 in Paperback by Norman Stevens may be ordered in bulk quantities.
