		Countless historians have analyzed Antietam (known as Sharpsburg in the South) and its aftermath, some concluding that McClellan's failure to vanquish Lee constituted a Southern victory, others that the Confederate retreat into Virginia was a strategic win for the North.

		One message that rings clear from reading this book is that Antietam was not a well planned battle, and the reader certainly gets that impression from reading about the confusion through diaries and letters of what the ordinary grunts in the field had to go through.
