In this book detailing Antietam, Norman Stevens writes, "Antietam was one of the critical battles of the American Civil War. The fortunes of the South were riding high after the resounding victory at Second Manassas. While Bragg and Kirby Smith invaded Kentucky, Lee's invasion of Maryland was intended to maintain the Southern offensive momentum, to wrest Maryland from the Union and to win the recognition of the Europeans powers. But his bold plan was compromised - and at the Antietam River the Army of Northern Virginia was fighting for its very life."
