A thorough and engaging account of the American Civil War as it was played out on the high seas and along the major rivers of the United States. Every important battle in which naval power played a part is discussed in detail, along with such innovations as the construction of ironclad warships, the development of combined operations involving both sea and land forces, and the deployment of a (barely) working submarine.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A must for naval wargamers,
By Jerry L. Miller (Midvale, Utah USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Naval Warfare : Courage and Combat on the Water (Civil War Chronicles) (Hardcover)
As you may have gathered from some of the other reviews of this book, the text could stand some improvement. However, the beautiful paintings and graphics make up for this somewhat, and are valuable for wargamers wishing to paint accurate miniatures, and for creating shorelines and fortifications.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Agree; wonderful pictures, do not trust the text,
By A Customer (Arlington, Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Naval Warfare : Courage and Combat on the Water (Civil War Chronicles) (Hardcover)
The author has indeed found and printed some wonderful illustrations, especially the paintings, but his text cannot be relied upon. This book needed much more rigorous fact-checking.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Great pictures; Terrible text,
By A Customer
This review is from: Naval Warfare : Courage and Combat on the Water (Civil War Chronicles) (Hardcover)
This book contains among the best illustrations and the worst-researched text imaginable. It is truly recommended for the images, the prints, the photos... but DO NOT pay any attention to the captions or the words, which are inaccurate at best and wildly misleading at worst. A good coffee-table book, but a lousy history.
