Time-Life always does a good job. The illustrations are excellent and the text is quite readable. It lacks somewhat in analysis and detail, but one could do a lot worse in terms of an overview of coastal and littoral operations in the Civil War.
This volume of the Civil War series looks at the Federal efforts to capture footholds in Florida, Alabama, South Carolina and North Carolina. Amphibious landings in New Orleans and New Bern, NC would contribute to the Federal victory in the War as the Confederacy was slowly strangled. The Battles of Fort Wagner, Mobile Bay, the near-comic surrender of New Orleans, Fort Fisher ,and the story of the Swamp Angel are all told here.As always in the T-L Civil War series, this volume is a very engaging. The writing is excellent and it is backed up by great photos, artwork and maps (although the reliance on contemporary maps is irritating in places). Sidebars look at torpedoes (naval mines), paintings of Fort Sumter, heavy artillery, Farragut's vessels, and Savannah.
Great time life series with terrific illustrations. Great overview material
Book was is in excellent condition.
this shows an important part of the war.
