Chester Hearn Scores Again with D.D. Porter's Bio,
By A Customer
This review is from: Admiral David Dixon Porter: The Civil War Years (Hardcover)
Chester G. Hearn has proven once again that he's among the top rank of Civil War naval historians writing today. His bio of one of the war's most colorful naval officers is thorough and very readable, and provides great insight into the motivations of a most difficult and controversial officer.

This review is from: Admiral David Dixon Porter: The Civil War Years (Hardcover)
An interesting and well written biography of a key and often overlooked Civil War participant.The role of the Federal and Confederate Navies in the War Between the States has been neglected by almost all historians. Why? Most of the more colorful, decisive actions, the events that sell books, were fought on land. This is a different type of story from a refreshingly different point of view. It is exciting and enlightening. The Federals could not have won without their excellent Navy, whose role was every bit as crucial as their Army's. This is as good an account of the U.S. Navy's role in the Union's Civil War victory as there is. Viewed through the life of David Dixon Porter, it is a fine testament to the Navy and the man
