About this title

Synopsis

"The Hunley: Submarines, Sacrifice & Success in the Civil War" (revised edition) by Mark Ragan, 256 pages (8.5x11). This well-researched book is extremely timely, as the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley, which lay off Sullivan's Island near Charleston, South Carolina, was raised recently from its watery grave. The Hunley was the first submarine in history to sink an enemy warship. It has additional documentation and illustrations not used in the first edition. Paperback only (1-886391-43-2) $19.95.
