Countless historians have analyzed Antietam, a battle which proved to be the bloodiest single day in American military history. Historian John Priest tells this brutal tale of slaughter from the perspective of the common enlisted man. He brings to life the fear, the horror, and the profound courage that soldiers displayed.--[book cover]
