"Entertaining from beginning to end... For fans of O'Brian and Forester, it is a welcome addition to the lore of navies whose sailors braved storms and shrapnel in a war for America's destiny." --Wall Street Journal On June 19, 1864, just off the coast of France, one of the most dramatic naval battles in history took place. On a clear day with windswept skies, the dreaded Confederate raider Alabama faced the Union warship Kearsarge in an all-or-nothing fight to the finish, the outcome of which would effectively end the threat of the Confederacy on the high seas. Award-winning and bestselling historians Phil Keith and Tom Clavin introduce some of the crucial but historically overlooked players in the deciding clash. Readers will sail aboard the Kearsarge as Winslow embarks for Europe with a set of simple orders from the secretary of the navy: "Travel to the uttermost ends of the earth, if necessary, to find and destroy the Alabama." "An accomplished history of an iconic battle." --Kirkus Reviews "Naval history buffs will be enthralled." --Publishers Weekly
