Description A rip-roaring expos that postulates history is the original "fake news" In Antietam Shadows, Dennis E. Frye warns us to beware of history. A professional historian himself for the last forty years, Dennis has evolved from a youthful worshipper of history into a respected skeptic who has devoted his career to challenging historians, especially within the Civil War genre.

But Antietam Shadows isn't about strategy and tactics and bullets and shells. Antietam Shadows is the story of human nature-people facing dangerous dilemmas, selecting choices, making hard decisions, and living (or dying) with the consequences. The consequences within Antietam Shadows will determine the future of the United States.
