Many people have heard of the Hunley; the experimental Confederate submarine that sank the USS Housatonic in a daring nighttime operation. Less well known; however; is that the Hunley was not alone under the waters of America during the Civil War. Both the Union and Confederacy built a wide and incredible array of vessels that could maneuver underwater; and many were put to use patrolling enemy waters. In Submarine Warfare in the Civil War; Mark Ragan; who spent years mining factory records and log books; brings this little-known history to the surface.The hardcover edition; Union and Confederate Submarine Warfare in the Civil War; was published to wide acclaim in 1999. For this new paperback edition; Ragan has revised and updated the text to include the full story of the Hunley's recovery and restoration.

6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Eyewitness to Civil WarBy Joyce HaworthMary Livermore was there . . . a Chicago woman who went to Civil War battlefields and nursed wounded men there. Once back in Chicago; she and others organized huge drives to collect supplies for the wounded; who were not being properly cared for at government facilities. She will bring you into those years as you read this book. Sure; she gets a little wordy sometimes -- this is the nineteenth century; after all!The previous reviewer took exception to the term; "suffragette" -- that was the term at the time; this is the original title of the book. Language changes.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. the war; first hand.By Andrew F. MichalekThis book was assigned to me in my civil war Grad class; along with McPherson's battle cry of freedom. I have to say it complements it very well. Mcphersons books makes you feel like your hovering above the country during the war. If you read Livermore at the same time; your put into the war. Yes the book is a little wordy and jumps all over the place; but it holds your attention. Their are some truly moving parts in this great book from the 19th century!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A good read.By D. MatthewsUsed for research. A good read.
