From top level strategy to picket post encounters and everything in between. ( ) Very readable for such a large tome (655 over-sized pages), but sadly (as often occurs) the book included too few maps. The maps that are present are of poor quality and are not coordinated with the text. The author may be extremely familiar with the locale, but it would be helpful to the reader if the referenced farms, etc. were actually located on accompanying maps. The writing and research are superb. It's too bad the maps were not given the same attention. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
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.
