Naval Warfare: Courage and Combat on the Water (Civil War Chronicles)

A thorough and engaging account of the American Civil War as it was played out on the high seas and along the major rivers of the United States. Every important battle in which naval power played a part is discussed in detail, along with such innovations as the construction of ironclad warships, the development of combined operations involving both sea and land forces, and the deployment of a (barely) working submarine.
