Description: The English-built Confederate commerce raider Alabama is easily the best-known ship from the American Civil War. This book is essentially the biography of that ship - how she came to be, her mission, her cruises, and her destruction. By far the most inclusive, thorough book yet written on this famous American warship, it chronicles everything from construction to destruction, as well as her recent salvage.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [197]-201) and index.
