Landscape Turned Red
Landscape Turned Red reconstructs the Battle of Antietam, fought on 17 September 1862 after Robert E. Lee carried the war into Maryland. Sears follows the discovery of Lee’s lost orders, George B. McClellan’s response and the savage fighting at the Cornfield, Sunken Road and Burnside Bridge. The book explains how tactical confusion and enormous casualties produced no clean battlefield decision, yet gave Abraham Lincoln the opportunity to announce the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.
