Format: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.

Format: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.

The second of the Frassanito History series of Civil War Photography-it does for Antietam what the first volume did for Gettysburg--tell the real story...

"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
