Historian Chester G. Hearn describes the Civil War's naval engagements that took place along the North American coast and rivers, as well as across the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of France. He describes the battles, reconstructing encounters between the ironclad ships, sea attacks on onshore forts, and the tactical maneuvering of dueling ships attempting to ram each other; and he also details the stealth and guile of seasoned commanders, as well as the heroism and suffering of the crews. The volume is beautifully illustrated with maps, artwork, and contemporary color and duotone photographs of weapons, uniforms, and equipment used in battle. Oversize: 10.25x13.25
