Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a riveting account of the historic 1864 naval battle between the Confederate ship Alabama and the Union ship Kearsarge. The author provides a detailed analysis of the events leading up to the battle, including the construction of both ships, the development of their armament, and the political and social tensions that set the stage for this dramatic confrontation. The central focus of the book is the battle itself, which took place off the coast of Cherbourg, France. The author provides a minute-by-minute account of the engagement, drawing on firsthand accounts from participants and extensive research. The book examines the tactics and strategies employed by both sides, the damage inflicted, and the human toll of the battle. Beyond the historical narrative, the book explores the broader significance of the battle. The author discusses the impact of the Alabama's raiding activities on Union commerce and the importance of the Kearsarge's victory in boosting Union morale and turning the tide of the Civil War. The book also examines the role of neutral powers, particularly France and England, in the conflict and the complex diplomatic maneuvers that surrounded the battle. In conclusion, this book offers a comprehensive and engrossing account of one of the most significant naval battles in American history. It provides valuable insights into the technological, strategic, and human aspects of maritime warfare and sheds light on the broader political and social context of the Civil War.
