SEARS SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR FIRST EDITION FINE - CONDITION BOOK FINE - CONDITION DUST JACKET PROTECTED IN A BRODART COVER Original, Clean, Bright, Solidly-Bound, Book Rich with Maps, Illustrations and Photographs Complete Order of Battle for Both Sides; Fully Referenced and Indexed; Contains an Bibliography PUBLISHED BY TICKNOR & FIELDS, NEW HAVEN AND NEW YORK, IN 1983 Of all the days on all the fields where American soldiers fought, the most terrible was September 17, 1862. The Civil War battle waged on that date at Antietam Creek, Maryland, took a human toll never exceeded on any day in the nation’s history. The battle at Antietam was pivotal to the course of the war, yet the complete story of this climatic and bitter struggle has never been fully told. In Landscape Turned Red, Stephen Sears draws on a wealth of newly discovered diaries, dispatches, and letter to recreate the vivid drama of Antietam – and dram it is, pitting high-stakes military gambler Robert E. Lee against George B. McClellan, the general with every soldierly quality but one, the will to fight. Stephen Sears’s subject is not just generals and their tactics, however, it is the emotions and experience of the men in the ranks, too, and their stories emerge here with powerful authenticity. With Landscape Turned Red, the literary successor of renowned historian Bruce Catton fills a major gap in Civil War literature – and he tells an engrossing, human tale of a momentous battle and the men who fought it. This is a wonderful, comprehensive battle history available in this hard-to-find First Edition. The book contains a full order of battle for both sides of the battle and also comes with the original publisher's flyer.
