The History of War in the UK has posted a new review of The C.S.S. Albemarle and William Cushing, a nonfiction book on the daring exploits of a talented Civil War lieutenant and his plan to sink General Lee's formidale ironclad ship.
"This is an entertaining read, following events and people that might not have been central to the outcome of the Civil War, but that did have an impact on wider events, and involving a series of interesting people, including the naval constructors who built the Albemarle, her various commanders, Cushing, his naval colleagues and his family. The story is also placed in context, both with wider events, and with the impact it had on public opinion."
