What People are Saying About This
This paperback . . . will make this fine work readily available and affordable for college classrooms and firesides tables, where it can inform, enlighten, and entertain.Military History of the West
[This book] significantly advances our understanding of a well-known clash between the North and the South. . . . The essays in this volume, as in the earlier entries in this fine series, show that it is still possible for scholars to explore new and challenging interpretations of the legendary but familiar battles of the Civil War. Blending tactical and strategic analysis with insights into social, cultural, political, and economic trends, The Antietam Campaign is fascinating and instructive. . . . It should inspire historians of the Middle Period to adopt a similarly rigorous, analytical approach to the study of the war's battles.Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography
This collection of essays edited by Professor Gary Gallagher offers entertaining passages, interesting details, and thought-provoking ideas. The entries in the book also have complementary strengths: some are valuable for the wealth of their information, others are valuable for the depth of their analyses. All of them are enjoyable to read. This volume should attract a large and varied audience.Journal of Southern History
In this book, Gallagher again demonstrates that he is willing to challenge traditional and recent revisionist interpretations of the Civil War with equal energy. He and this team of writers collectively combat the popular and often incorrect interpretations of the war. The Antietam Campaign offers many new insights and is highly recommended to the serious student of the Civil War.North Carolina Historical Review
The Antietam Campaign is at once a lively and provocative read. It offers proof that the study of military history, too often detached from the larger social and political contexts, can be rewarding to those who seek to understand more thoroughly our nation's past.Southern Historian
Each of the articles in The Antietam Campaign is well researched and written in a delightful prose style befitting the interesting subject matter. A brief but insightful bibliographical essay compliments the notes accompanying each article. Readers with an interest in the Maryland Campaign and a sound grasp of the general scenario will find these detailed pieces both thought provoking and instructive.Civil War Regiments
[Gallagher] forges ten finely crafted essays into a stunning piece of scholarship. . . . Engagingly written, the essays provide an abundance of fresh and noteworthy insights that should stimulate further research into other topics. . . . For any serious student or reader, this set of essays is mandatory reading.Virginia Magazine of History and Biography
This latest volume in the Military Campaigns of the Civil War series continues the tradition of excellence established with its first publication. . . . The Antietam Campaign succeeds wonderfully in its goal of exploring 'a variety of questions and topics with an eye toward underscoring the potential of Civil War military operations as subjects for research and interpretation.' The book deserves a place on bookshelves next to the standard monographs about the Battle of Sharpsburg.Civil War History
This is a far-ranging and provocative collection of essays. As intended, it both informs and challenges.Richmond Times-Dispatch
A well-crafted collection of reasoned and thought provoking examinations of issues revolving around the battle. Your Antietam library is incomplete without it.Civil War News
