Reviews
"Hartwig has written the best and most complete story of the Civil War's bloodiest day. He puts the reader in the middle of the action on every part of the Antietam battlefield during every hour of that horrific and lethal struggle. And he brilliantly places the battle in the context of the war in which it was a major turning point."?James M. McPherson, author of Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam "This volume triumphantly concludes Scott Hartwig's examination of the Antietam campaign. Equally satisfying in dealing with commanders and soldiers in the ranks, it evokes the unimaginable chaos of the nation's bloodiest day and stands as the finest treatment of a battle that shaped the course of our defining national trial."?Gary W. Gallagher, author of The Enduring Civil War: Reflections on the Great American Crisis

Synopsis
The definitive account of the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day of the Civil War. The memory of the Battle of Antietam was so haunting that when, nine months later, Major Rufus Dawes learned another Antietam battle might be on the horizon, he wrote, "I hope not, I dread the thought of the place." In this definitive account, historian D. ......, The definitive account of the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day of the Civil War. Finalist of the American Battlefield Trust Military History Book Prize, Winner of the Richard Barksdale Harwell Award The memory of the Battle of Antietam was so haunting that when, nine months later, Major Rufus Dawes learned another Antietam battle might be on the horizon, he wrote, "I hope not, I dread the thought of the place." In this definitive account, historian D. Scott Hartwig chronicles the single bloodiest day in American history, which resulted in 23,000 casualties. The Battle of Antietam marked a vital turning point in the war: afterward, the conflict could no longer be understood as a limited war to preserve the Union, but was now clearly a conflict over slavery. Though the battle was tactically inconclusive, Robert E. Lee withdrew first from the battlefield, thus handing President Lincoln the political ammunition necessary to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. This is the full story of Antietam, ranging from the opening shots of the battle to the powerful reverberations--military, political, and social--it sent through the armies and the nation. Based on decades of research, this in-depth narrative sheds particular light on the visceral experience of battle, an often misunderstood aspect of the American Civil War, and the emotional aftermath for those who survived. Hartwig provides an hour-by-hour tactical history of the battle, beginning before dawn on September 17 and concluding with the immediate aftermath, including General McClellan's fateful decision not to pursue Lee's retreating forces back across the Potomac to Virginia. With 21 unique maps illustrating the state of the battle at intervals ranging from 20 to 120 minutes, this long-awaited companion to Hartwig's To Antietam Creek will be essential reading for anyone interested in the Civil War., The definitive account of the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day of the Civil War.

- o***t (3459)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI certainly assume that the seller is fully aware of the situation they created and did nothing about it. The listing was for "pack of 6" 10 oz bottles. I received 2 bottles. I messaged seller several times regarding this shortage but GOT NO RESPONSE. I finally requested a return. I returned in same packaging plus extra padding. It needed it. I was fully refunded but seller left a comment that I only returned 2 of 6 items. Watch out for this seller.Reply from: nelagarments- Feedback replied by seller nelagarments.- Feedback replied by seller nelagarments.One of the worst buyers I have had, I am glad to not do business with them anymore. Have blocked them from purchasing anymore units. Placed two separate orders and had "issues" with both orders in order to get a few free jars of cherries. Terrible experience.Sable & Rosenfeld Whiskey Tipsy Cherries 10-Ounce Glass Jars Pack of 6 (#285435288963)
- 9***8 (1)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe boots were exactly as described, new and in the original packaging. Great value and they shipped and arrived quickly. Great experience overall.
- c***m (35)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseHello There, I wouldn't buy from this seller. 1. They accept offers - they don't respond- they let time run out- I did this 3 times before they accepted a bid that was the actual cost of the product. 2. They offer free shipping- to them it is when they get to it. After 2 days to see movement or shipping info, I contacted them- they were rude, called me "entitled person" Then they automatically canceled the order when I was tryin to get ETA of when to expect it I would never deal with this vendorReply from: nelagarments- Feedback replied by seller nelagarments.- Feedback replied by seller nelagarments.Yes, an entitled person that says they will ask ebay to step in and demand a refund if the item does not ship for you within 48 hours. You do not get to threaten eBay sellers after getting a deal and free shipping (which costs on average $14 now). You were added to the blocked buyer list for a reason.
