| Summary: | The Maryland Campaign represented Gen. Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the North. Opposing Lee was Union general George B. McClellan, who had just retreated from Lee's onslaught during the Seven Days Battles. While Lee and McClellan fought skirmishes as they maneuvered their armies, the full force of both armies would meet at Antietam, and the subsequent battle would prove to be the bloodiest single-day battle of the war. Decisions at Antietam is geared for a general audience and offers a general introduction to the battle through the lens of Union and Confederate commanders. Typical of past books in the series, the manuscript is replete with photos and maps and includes a driving tour of the decisions to encourage visitation to National Battlefield Parks. |
