5.0 out of 5 stars A painless photographic tour of the most painful day., March 8, 1998
If you have only one book on Antietam on your shelf, this might be the one to have. Frassanito explodes old myths, brings the farmers residing on the battlefield alive, and painstakingly dissects photos that seem routine. His greatest flair is bringing out the details, such as identifying the hardtack lid grave markers of the freshly dead, but unknown soldiers, and weaving a story around the single picture. Brilliant book, enjoyable for anyone with even a passing interest in the Civil War.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pictures worth thousands of words, July 26, 2006
By Linda "katknit" (CT, United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Heartbreaking in its starkness and immediacy, this is a collection of photographs that changed American conceptions of war by bringing death and destruction into their homes. Even after more than a century of war images, these photos retain their power.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Photographic Legacy" says it all
As they say "A picture is worth a thousand words." This book goes even further than that - a photo is just a photo - an "interpreted" photo, however, is priceless. Read more
