Review

Through the use of actual letters written to friends and relatives; both before and during the early war years; the main character of this book; Lt. Flusser (USN) becomes a real person. The lieutenants 'Letters to Mama' give the reader a feeling of being at the scene of the action that the usual references of date place cannot possibly impart. I highly recommend 'Invasion' to all who are interested in the gunboat war; North Carolina; or just the Civil War in general. This is a readable book that contains the type of information not normally found in other CW books that I have read.Dave Clark Mt. Holly NC0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Most Interesting bookBy GSFor non experts on the Civil War; it is a fascinating read. Kind of amazing what ingenuity was used by the forces. Certainly added to my appreciation of the players. Well written and documented.
