shanny1366's review against another edition
2.0
This book is great for teaching about early submarines and the battles of the H.L. Hunley. The section near the end is wonderful for sparking interest in marine archaeology and discovering more about history. But the treatment of the Civil War as a whole is problematic. There is absolutely no mention of slavery. At one point, the author declares that the United States is "healed of its wounds from the Civil War," which, given current events, is highly debatable. This was really disappointing, since the topic it aimed to cover is fascinating.
