ISBN: 9780275984427.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntietam was one of the critical battles of the American Civil War. The fortunes of the South were riding high after the resounding victory at Second Manassas. While Bragg and Kirby Smith invaded Kentucky, Lees invasion of Maryland was intended to maintain the momentum of the Southern offensive and win the recognition of the European powers. But the Confederates bold plan was compromised and at the Antietam River the Army of Northern Virginia found itself fighting for its very life. This title examines the build-up to Antietam, and details the famous clashes at Bloody Lane and Burnside Bridge. The battle marked the end of Robert E. Lees first invasion of the North, and still stands as the single bloodiest day in American military history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Praeger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44989925425205,"sku":"ByrdShop_0275984427","price":59.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780275984427_011d7285-07f1-4212-bdaa-f7d2dd46606d.jpg?v=1778660149","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/antietam-1862-the-civil-wars-bloodiest-day-praeger-illustrated-military-history-9780275984427","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
