Illustrated with maps, black-and-white drawings, and black-and-white photographs. Crossroads of Freedom is what we have come to expect of James McPherson - a compelling account that displays his command of that Civil War era's military and political history. It vividly illuminates a critical turning point in the transformation of the war for the Union into a crusade for emancipation." - Eric Foner, author. "The battle of Antietam wielded enormous influence over the course of the Civil War. Although not a decisive tactical victory, it boosted the Union cause in profoundly important ways. James M. McPherson's engaging and perceptive narrative places Antietam within the broader context of the war, assessing major commanders, evaluating strategic decisions and movements, and explaining the battle's background as well as its seismic political and diplomatic consequences. Anyone interested in learning about Antietam should begin by reading this book." - Gary W. Gallagher, author. "Historian James McPherson is an national treasure, and [the book] is his latest gem. Vivid, elegantly written, and superbly rendered, this slender volume brings the momentous events surrounding the fateful battle of Antietam to life as never before. I loved this splendid book!" - Jay Winik, author. ""The Battle of Antietam, fought on September 17, 1862, was the bloodiest single day in American history, with more than 6,000 soldiers killed - four times the number lost on D-Day, and twice the fatalities of the September 11th terrorist attacks. In [the book], America's most eminent Civil War historian, James M. McPherson, paints a masterful account of this pivotal battle, the events that led up to is, and its aftermath.McPherson brilliantly weaves.strands of diplomatic, political, and military history into a compact, swift-moving narrative that shows why America's bloodiest day was, indeed, a turning point in our history." - excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Lynch, Kathleen M. (jacket design); Hope, Captain James (jacket painting); McPherson, Patricia (author photograph) (illustrator).

See Gambier's entry in the Oxford DNB. He served during capture of Charleston during American Revolutionary War, at the Glorious First of June, and commanded at Battle of Copenhagen and Battle of the Basque Roads. He was First Naval Lord, three times: 1795-1801, 1804-6 and 1807-8. Henslow was Surveyor to the Navy, 1784-1806, and… Hope was Deputy Comptroller of the Navy, 1795-1801. According to one source, HMS Achille was 'commissioned under Captain Sir Henry Stanhope [later Admiral Sir Henry Edwyn Stanhope (1754-1814)] in June 1798 while fitting out was ongoing [.] In April 1799, Captain Stanhope was replaced in command by Captain George Murray'. 1p, folio. On brittle and lightly-browned laid paper. The document is in fair condition, apart from at the head, which is worn and heavily chipped, with closed tears, repaired with archival tape. Addressed at head from 'Navy Office 20th March 1799.' Folded five times into package. Written in a secretary's hand and signed at bottom right 'C Hope. / J Hemslow / J: Gambier', and addressed at bottom left to 'Captain Stanhope / late of L'Achille'. The document (rather a stern letter for 'affectionate friends' to write) reads: 'The Officers of Portsmouth Yard having transmitted us an Account of the Articles in the Boatswain's Expence Book of His Majesty's Ship [added here: 'Achille late'] under your command, which were thought to be an extraordinary demand in so short a time after having said to have been recently completed. We herewith transmit you a reply of the same, and acquaint you it will be an objection to the passing your Accounts, unless you can give us satisfactory reasons for so extraordinary an expenditure. / We are, / Sir, / Your affectionate friends / C Hope. / J Henslow / J: Gambier'.
