Sobre este artículo
From inside dust jacket:
Of all the days on all the fields where American soliders have 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 our nation's history.
The battle at Antietam was pivotal to the course of the war, yet the complete story of this climactic and bitter struggle has never been told. In Landscape Turned Red, Stephen Sears draws on a wealth of newly discovered diaries, dispatches, and letters to recreate the vivid drama of Antietam--and drama 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.

Sinopsis
Combining brilliant military analysis with rich narrative history, Landscape Turned Red is the definitive work on the Battle of Antietam. The Civil War battle waged on September 17, 1862, at Antietam Creek, Maryland, was one of the bloodiest in the nation's history: on this single day, the war claimed nearly 23,000 casualties. Here renowned historian Stephen Sears draws on a remarkable cache of diaries, dispatches, and letters to recreate the vivid drama of Antietam as experienced not only by its leaders but also by its soldiers, both Union and Confederate, to produce what the New York Times Book Review has called "the best account of the Battle of Antietam."
