These books all relate to naval operations during the American Civil War, with a focus on the conflict between the Union and Confederate States. They cover topics such as daring blockade runners, ruthless raiders, and naval warfare in general. One book is a thrilling tale while another is a humorous graphic novel, but all provide historical accounts of this important period in naval history.
