Could have been better researched
The subject is great, but the quality of the writing is mediocre, as was the research. It contains many annoying inaccuracies.

This review is from: Lincoln's Commando: The Biography of Commander William B. Cushing, U.S. Navy (Bluejacket Books) (Paperback)
The book brings to life the brave and bold character of William and his brothers Alonzo, Howard and Milton. Lt. Cushing's exploits during his naval career were quite daring and exciting to read about.
