(2) 4-6 Murphy defines the Battle of Antietam, with almost 23,000 casualties, as the military and emotional turning point of the Civil War. Maneuver by maneuver, he recounts the day's myriad skirmishes. Clear maps, showing tactical attacks and retreats, stand in stark contrast to the numerous, affecting photographs of young soldiers, dead bodies, and makeshift hospital sites. Personal quotes reiterate the human toll. Bib., ind.
