Editorial Reviews
Review
"So far the series looks promising with titles on D-Day, The Battle of the Bulge, Iwo Jima, Gettysburg, Shiloh, and Antietam to name a few. The Volume on the Monitor and the Merrimac is a well done primer on the subject for young people."-Ted Alexander, Blue & Gray Magazine (Holiday 2007)
"For both the young and young at heart, the comic book style format of this publication makes learning both fun and easy, as well as adding the nostalgic excitement of the comic energy. Illustrated in full color, the entire story of the Monitor/Merrimac battle is documented with eye pleasing, action packed drawings, expertly done by Ron Wagner and Dheeraj Verma." -Mark Smith, Model Shipwrights
"While I have a feeling that this book is aimed at the younger market, it also has a place with those of us who have read quite a bit on the subject... Like other Osprey titles, this is one you can buy with confidence." -Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com
Product Description
On March 9, 1862, the world's first battle between two ironclad warships took place in the confined waters of Hampton Roads, Virginia. The previous day the Confederate ironclad CSS Merrimack - officially the CSS Virginia - impervious to her enemy's guns, had sunk two Union warships. When she re-emerged from Norfolk to complete the destruction of the Union blockading squadron, the USS Monitor steamed out to meet her. The four-hour duel that ensued was a stalemate, but crucially the Virginia had failed to break the Northern blockade of the Southern ports. In a single battle these two ironclads rendered wooden warships obsolete and transformed the face of naval warfare forever.
This full-color comic book includes further reading, essential information on the background, aftermath and key players of the conflict, illustrating one of the most revolutionary naval battles in world history and transports the reader to the cramped and dangerous conditions that the sailors faced for the first time.
