assembled on American waters.

Now George McClellan has to actually use them.

The Other Antietam is the electrifying third volume of An Alternate History of the American Civil War — an alternate history masterwork set in the brutal winter of 1861–62, as the Union scrambles to reclaim its occupied capital and the war pivots from catastrophe to the largest amphibious operation North America has ever seen.

While Lincoln's exiled government demands action and the Northern press savages the cautious general as "the Yankee Hamlet," McClellan plots a pincer movement of devastating elegance: land at Fredericksburg, sever Lee's railroad lifeline, and starve the Confederate army out of Washington without a frontal assault. The plan is brilliant. The execution is another matter.

Across the lines, Robert E. Lee reads every move before it is made — and prepares a counter that will shock both armies.

A clash of two American military geniuses. A nation's fate on a line of railroad track. The Other Antietam delivers alternate Civil War history at its finest.
