Unfurl Those Colors!

“Military historians will find plenty of useful material in Unfurl Those Colors! Armstrong’s book serves as a model for a new style of Civil War campaign history, as it integrates traditional tactical minutiae with social histories of the different Union regiments and biographies of the different  battlefield leaders in the Second Corps. The tactical material is not terribly new, but this book will serve as a useful tool for military staff rides, battlefield enthusiasts, and historians of Civil War combat.”
—H-Net Reviews

"Fully complementing each other, the maps and battle narratives of the companion studies Unfurl Those Colors! and Opposing the Second Corps at Antietam together comprise the literature's clearest and most complete tactical history of the West Woods and Sunken Road phases of the Antietam battle. These volumes should be regarded as essential components of the 1862 Maryland Campaign bookshelf."
