About this listen
In early 1862 the war comes within view of the Brannon family farm in Culpeper County, Virginia. The din of drilling soldiers sweeps over the quiet countyside, and another son of Abigail and John Brannon answers the call to arms. A gifted horseman, Mac, joins Jeb Stuart's cavalry and soon finds himself on one of the greatest adventures of the war.
The anticipated spring offensive pitches the Union and Confederate Armies against each other on the Virginia Peninsula, and it appears that Richmond and the fledgling Confederacy are doomed. As the Southerners fall back before the slowly advancing Northern army, Mac is reunited with his older brother, Will, when Stonewall Jackson's triumphant troops arrive from the Shenandoah Valley to blunt the Federal onslaught. Following the fighting at Seven Pines, the brothers witness firsthand the reversal of Confederate fortunes when Robert E. Lee is made commander of the Southern army.
While love blossoms on the Brannon homestead, Lee's army strikes a stunning blow to the Northern army on the peninsula then crosses the Potomac River into Maryland. When the Federals intercept the Rebels near Antietam Creek, the two brothers are brought together in the bloodiest trial of the war thus far. The air is thick with shot and shell as wave after wave of the Northern soldiers are hurled upon the Southern lines grouped near the town of Sharpsburg and a river of death.

Liking the drama...not the romance
The brutality of war - horrific. Reasoner at times is fairly descriptive. He absolutely can not write romance. Battle scenes, historical details yes, romance NO! - totally unrealistic and completely cringey 😬 I now need to discover the ultimate fate of the Brannon family, only seven more books to go.

Really the Battle of the 7 Days
In this the 3rd book in the series -- clearly the best so far. The author has placed different Brannon family members in with different parts of the Southern armies and you get a much fuller sense of the Civil War. While the title is Antietam, I felt the real story is in the excellent job of telling the good and bad of the 7 Day's battle in front of Richmond. I will definitely continue the series

On goes the soap opera
We're really getting into the character development now and really care for how they are faring in the war although personally I feel that two of them, Titus and the mother are a bit two dimensional and need "fleshing out" a bit. Nevertheless I will admit to being a bit choked listening to the reunion and if that is a reflection on how good a listen it is its a good book. Lloyd James continues to bring the action to life.

Antietam? Not really - more like a summary of 1862.
Somewhat repetitious. The weather was bad, they marched hard and were tired, etc. Not particularly believable in terms of interactions between junior and senior soldiers/leaders. Only the last chapter or two has anything to do with Antietam.

Revisionist view of the Civil War
Antietam is my second book in James Reasoner’s series. The story line is interesting but it appears to favor the Confederacy to a fault. The characters are all hard working people and the slaves enjoy their lot. What a wonderful fairytale. The southerners are all polite and chivalrous and the federals were all beasts who wanted to take away their right to own slaves.

crappiest narrator ever
I had hoped that the narrator would have improved, but no such luck. He reads like he has no understanding. of punctuation, even though. he is clearly. literate. To make matters worse, he makes the Confederate officers sound like slow-witted idiots. All their dialogue is stammering and slow, like they are drunk or mentally challenged. Overall, this listening experience was just another disappointment in the series.
