Taken at the Flood: Robert E. Lee and Confederate Strategy in the Maryland Campaign of 1862
Editorial Reviews
The Washington Times, November 13, 1999
This is a tour de force challenging much of the conventional wisdom, both pro- and anti-Lee. Mr. Harsh's signal contribution to understanding this campaign, and by extension to the war as a whole, is to transcend issues of personality--"Robert the Bold vs. George the Timid"--in order to focus on strategic considerations.
Book Description
WINNER OF THE 1999 JEFFERSON DAVIS AWARD
Complementing Confederate Tide Rising, this detailed account focuses on the military campaign itself. Antietam languishes in the long, obscuring shadow cast by Gettysburg and Harsh advocates rethinking the Maryland campaign. He promotes the argument that Antietam was one of the most interesting, critical, and potentially enlightening episodes in U.S. history.
