The true story of the lost battle plans that led to the bloody battle of Antietam. Under the fantastic set of circumstances at Harpers Ferry, the Confederates lost and the Union recovered a copy of Confederate battle plan Special Order 191. If I cant beat Bobby Lee with this piece of paper, I will be willing to go home, said Union army leader George B. McClellan upon reading the document. The rest, of course, is history. Although many books have been written about the battle of Antietam, no book yet has been devoted exclusively to the lost order that resulted in Lees failed invasion. With as much emphasis given to human foibles as to troop movements, this book will appeal to a wide audience beyond Civil War devotees.
