SynopsisThroughout the Civil War, the Confederacy was able to sustain its military forces due to a lifeline of steam propelled blockade runners. And now, for the first time, a comprehensive study that describes the tremendous maritime trade that flowed into Southern harbors from Texas to Virginia is available with the publication of Lifeline of the Confederacy: Blockade Running During the Civil War. Highlighted with numerous maps, illustrations, and a listing of more than 300 blockade runners, this book analyzes the impact of blockade running on the Southern war effort. The work tells the vivid story of the revolutionary vessels and the unknown individuals who made up the supply system that came to be called the "Lifeline of the Confederacy."

The ultimate summery of Civil War Blockade Running. An excellent essay on the trade.
Start a study of the Civil War with this book. The south was desperate for supplies at the start of the war and this condition only got worse as the war progressed. This book describes the evolution of Blockade Running without battles which were not part of blockade running. It describes the management of the several firms and states which ran the trade. There are many maps of ports used and also of large areas showing the location of these ports. The maps of the ports are hard to come by elsewhere. There is a vast number of appendixes listing almost all of the runners, the imports and the exports. There are also many line drawings of runners, and pictures of the people mentioned. There are few exciting descriptions of the chase in this book. But read this book first, then get some of the narratives written by the actual runners for the excitement of the chase.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
