{"product_id":"book-f74i","title":"The Cornfield","description":"For generations of Americans, the word \u003ci\u003eAntietam\u003c\/i\u003e—the name of a bucolic stream in western Maryland—held the same sense of horror and carnage that the date 9\/11 does for Americans today. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Antietam is forever burned into the American psyche as a battle bathed in blood that served no military purpose and brought no decisive victory. This much Americans know was true. What they didn't know was why the battle broke out at all—until now. \u003ci\u003eThe Cornfield: Antietam's Bloody Turning Point\u003c\/i\u003e tells for the first time the full story of the struggle to control \"the Cornfield,\" the action on which the costly battle of Antietam turned. Many of the firsthand accounts included in this volume have never before been revealed to modern audiences or assembled in such a comprehensive, accessible narrative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the same time, \u003ci\u003eThe Cornfield\u003c\/i\u003e offers fresh views of the battle as a whole, arguing that two central facts doomed thousands of soldiers. This new, provocative perspective is certain to change our modern understanding of how the battle of Antietam was fought and its role in American history.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49364812792112,"sku":"BDf74i","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49364812857648,"sku":"ZEf74i","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49364812923184,"sku":"ZMf74i","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/f74i-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780084132","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-f74i","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
