5.0 out of 5 stars
A painless photographic tour of the most painful day.,
By akulas@concentric.net (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Antietam: The Photographic Legacy of America's Bloodiest Day (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: Antietam: The Photographic Legacy of America's Bloodiest Day (Paperback)
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.
