Editorial Reviews
Review
"The Gleam of Bayonets was the first book I ever read on the Maryland campaign of 1862 and the battle of Antietam, and it remains one of the best.... The reissue of this splendid book will make it available to a new generation of readers."
Product Description
One of the bloodiest days in American military history, the Battle of Antietam turned the tide of the Civil War in favor of the North and delivered the first major defeat to Robert E. Lee’s army. In The Gleam of Bayonets, James V. Murfin gives a compelling account of the events and personalities involved in this momentous battle. The gentleness and patience of Lincoln, the vacillations of McClellan, and the grandeur of Lee—all unfold before the reader. The battle itself is presented with precision and scope as Murfin blends together atmosphere and fact, emotions and tactics, into a dramatic and coherent whole.
