A richly detailed account of the hard-fought campaign that led to
Antietam Creek and changed the course of the Civil War. In early
September 1862 thousands of Union soldiers huddled within the
defenses of Washington, disorganized and discouraged from their
recent defeat at Second Manassas. Confederate General Robert E. Lee
then led his tough and confident Army of Northern Virginia into
Maryland in a bold gamble to force a showdown that could win
Southern independence. The future of the Union hung in the balance.
The campaign that followed lasted only two weeks, but it changed
the course of the Civil War. D. Scott Hartwig delivers a riveting
first installment of a two-volume study of the campaign and
climactic battle. It takes the reader from the controversial return
of George B. McClellan as commander of the Army of the Potomac
through the Confederate invasion, the siege and capture of Harpers
Ferry, the daylong Battle of South Mountain, and, ultimately, to
the eve of the great and terrible Battle of Antietam.
