Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam: The Battle that Changed the Course of the Civil War by James M. McPherson

4.0

This was concise, informational, and well-written. The majority of the book actually sets up the political milieu prior to the battle itself. McPherson argues that Antietam was a turning point upon which the momentum of the war rested. Lots of nicely inserted primary quotes.
