Two Years on the Alabama: A Firsthand Account of the Daring Exploits of the Infamous Confederate Raider by Arthur Sinclair
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 359 kB
Overview: From the Caribbean to the China Sea, the CSS Alabama inflicted havoc on Union commerce for over two years during the American Civil War, sinking or seizing more than sixty prizes -- yet never making land in North America. Built covertly in England, stealthily armed in the Azores, and manned by English seamen under Confederate officers, the Alabama became the obsession of Lincoln's Secretary of the Navy until meeting her fate in a dramatic finale in the English Channel, where the wreck has only recently been discovered. Recognized as the best description of life aboard the enterprising Confederate raider, this firsthand account by one of her officers is a gripping narrative, now published in a quality paperback edition for the first time with additional maps and illustrations. Its new introduction and epilogue provide the historical background and aftermath to this remarkable episode in naval warfare history.
