(2002)Very good and to the point analysis of the battle of Antietam and its relavance to the Civil War, calling it a turning point in how the war played out and the fact that the South eventually lost. Very informative read on the Battle of Antietam; the events that lead up to it (troop movements, previous battles, McClellan, etc) as well as some of the fallout from the battle (primarily the Emancipation Proclamation, and Britain and France deciding not to recognize the South as an independent country). This was a very thorough, but well written piece of a small segment of the history of the Civil War. It had great depth to it, but was also written so as not to be boring, or too pompous, or too much jargon, and it wasn't written as if it believed the reader already had a keen grasp of history, but also didn't treat the reader like an imbecile as well. This was just a very well written, fun, historical piece of work. Highly recommend it to anyone willing or wanting to learn more about Antietam; and the Civil War as a whole. History of the events leading up to Antietam and then Antietam itself in the US Civil War. Reading this led me to discover that, because humanity is a rich tapestry, there is at least one person who has studied the Civil War and not wanted to reach through time to slap George McClellan upside the head. That person, however, is not McPherson, who makes his opinion of McClellan’s dithering quite clear. Very gruesome descriptions of battlefields. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
