The Civil War battle waged on September 17, 1862, at Antietam Creek, Maryland, was one of the bloodiest in the nation's history: On this single day, the battle claimed nearly 23,000 casualties. In Landscape Turned Red, the renowned historian Stephen Sears draws on a remarkable cache of diaries, dispatches, and letters to recreate the vivid drama of Antietam as experienced not only by its leaders but also by its soldiers, both Union and Confederate. Combining brilliant military analysis with narrative history of enormous power, Landscape Turned Red is the definitive work on this climactic and bitter struggle.©1983 Stephen W.

This book is without a doubt the most detailed account of that horrible day you will ever find. It is stuffed with personal anecdotes of everyone from the privates all the way up to the generals, as well as the civilians who experience the battle. It was a chaotic battle, so this work can be hard to follow, but Sears does a good job of striking through the confusion to create a coherent and compelling narrative. If you read one book on Antietam make it this one

the most in-depth and detailed account of Antietam

I have read Sears' Gettysburg book and wanted to try another - and was not disappointed. I have read various books as to the battle of Antietam but this is the most comprehensive. Sears has a nice way of providing some background information and detailing events leading up to the battle. Then the details of the ultimate battle make it seem as if you were in the middle of it.
I recommend this for a wide varitey of audiences.

Excellent Book

The history of the most intense day of combat in American history is a major accomplishment on the page, but a triumph when read aloud. Aside from the wobbly pronunciation of Thomas Meagher's name--sometimes "Mahr" and sometimes "Meager" it is an excellent presentation of Sears's lucid story telling--a modern military history classic.

I have several books on the battle of Antietam. Regardless of this fact, I enjoyed the audiobook. The narrator did an excellent presentation and added immensely to my enjoyment. Moreover, I learned some facts missing from the other books and audiobooks in my library.

Stephen Sears is an excellent scholar and story teller. Once again great work. The narrator is adequate and does okay with pronunciation. My main problem is his voice acting is very distracting. Overall worth the credit.

Sears great again, narrator is distracting.

Any additional comments?

I found the book to be compelling, I am quite familiar with the story but this version delves deeper into the flaws of the players and ends up being a study in hubris. other reviews have had a problem with the different accents but I like the way they helped differentiate each character and felt they improved rather than detracted from the experience. A welcome addition to any civil war obsessive's library.

Enjoyed this book on Antietam. Lots of interesting material from written records. Good discussion of two happenings that have been disputed.

Well read.
