Lee's army. In \u003ci\u003eThe Gleam of Bayonets,\u003c\/i\u003e James V. Murfin gives a compelling account of the events and personalities involved in this momentous battle. The gentleness and patience of Lincoln, the vacillations of McClellan, and the grandeur of Lee- all unfold before the reader. The battle itself is presented with precision and scope as Murfin blends together atmosphere and fact, emotions and tactics, into a dramatic and coherent whole. Originally published in 1965, \u003ci\u003eThe Gleam of Bayonets\u003c\/i\u003e is now recognized as a classic and the standard against which all books on Antietam are measured.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52734772609304,"sku":"9780807130209","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-gleam-of-bayonets-the-battle-of-antietam-and-robert-e-lees-maryland-campaign-september-1862-paperback-softback-9780807130209","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
