A dramatic, insightful, and fascinating study

The Voyage Of The Hunley: The Chronicle Of The Pathbreaking Confederate Submarine by military historian Edwin P. Hoyt is the fascinating story of the first successful submarine attack in history - an innovative triumph for which the Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley paid the ultimate price as it was lost with all hands aboard, and not to be raised from the watery depths for another 136 years.
