Synopsis
This book captures the trials and triumphs of the US Navy during the Civil War. The author, Secretary of the Navy, provides an account of President Lincoln's formidable task of organizing the Navy, while facing unprecedented challenges, such as the need for ships and manpower to maintain a gigantic blockade and prevent the Confederacy from conducting trade. In charge of these efforts was Secretary Gideon Welles, whose leadership and ingenuity are credited with bolstering the Union naval fleets and for bringing about the capture of major ports such as Hatteras, Port Royal, New Orleans, and Mobile. The book not only offers a glimpse into the strategies and operations of the United States Navy during the Civil War, but also sheds light on the resilience of the Union amidst a period of national strife and division.
