Antietam. For generations of Americans this word--the name of a bucolic stream in western Maryland--held the same sense of horror and carnage that the simple date 9/11 does for modern America. But Antietam eclipses even this modern tragedy as America\'s single bloodiest day, on which 22, 000 men became casualties in a war to determine our nation\'s future. Antietam is forever burned into the American psyche, a battle bathed in blood that served no military purpose, brought no decisive victory. This much Americans know. What they didn\'t know is why this is so--until now. The Cornfield: Antietam\'s Bloody Turning Point tells for the first time the full story of the exciting struggle to control "the Cornfield," the action on which the costly battle of Antietam turned, in a thorough yet readable narrative. It explains what happened in Antietam\'s Cornfield and why.

At the same time, The Cornfield offers fresh views of the battle as a whole, arguing that it turned on events in the Cornfield because of two central facts -- Union General George Mc Clellan\'s linear thinking demanded that the Cornfield must be taken and, because of this, the repeated failure by the generals Mc Clellan charged with fulfilling this task created a self-reinforcing cycle of disaster that doomed the Union\'s prospects for success--at the cost of thousands of lives. The Cornfield offers new perspectives that may be controversial--particularly to those who accept unchallenged the views of the battle\'s first historians and its generals, who too often sought to shape our understanding for their own purposes--but which are certain to change m
