"I completed this just before visiting the Antietam Cival War Memorial site in Maryland. This is an excellent book on this pivitol battle in the US Cival War."
"This was Sears' first Civil War book, from back in the early 1980s, but he's already got his in-depth style largely set. As usual for Sears, the book covers not only the battle but the lead up to and aftermath of the battle. The Antietam campaign syncs up well with McCellan's second stint in command, which really goes not much better than the first. His perpetual paranoid overcaution and sloppy command style lead to a tactical draw and a minor strategic victory when his vastly superior numbers should have allowed him to crush Lee's army.
This book could use a revised edition for two reasons. In Sears' later works he makes effective use of section breaks within chapters which make for much easier reading and good stopping points but this first work doesn't have any. Also, there are a good number of maps but I feel his later books had better maps."
