As a student of the Civil War for many years I have amassed a fairly large collection of books on the conflict. Here is one I would strongly recommend to anyone wishing to learn more about the Battle of Antietam, particularly from the soldiers standpoint.

This book is an amazing read so do yourselves a favor and read it.

Good read no doubt.

Mine are volume 2 of Lee's Lieutenants, where the battle is described, and McClellan's biography. ;)
