The primary Union strategy during the American Civil War was a massive naval blockade of the entire Southern coastline of the Confederacy; and it was in the effort to counter this blockade that the Confederates developed their first submarines and torpedo boats. This book traces the development of these new technologies; including the CSS 'Little David' and 'Hunley' - respectively the first torpedo boat and submarine to sink an enemy warship. The wreck of the 'Hunley' was raised in 2000; and this is the first book ever to integrate details of its recovery with an account of Confederate submarines in action.
