Best book ever; on the subject of submarines in the War Between the StatesBy History writer"Submarine Warfare in the Civil War" was the best treatise on the topic that I have ever seen. Mr. Ragan did an outstanding job!It was a little "uncool" that the vendor's (from whom I bought the book) vendor drop-shipped the book to me showing an invoice price less that 10% of what I paid; but I'm not unhappy with my purchase. I not only recommend the book; but see it as a terrific reference book on a remarkably little known subject!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
