At the start of the American Civil War, neither side had warships
on the Mississippi River, which was a vital strategic artery. In
what would prove the vital naval campaign of the war, both sides
fought for control of the river. While the Confederates relied on
field fortifications and small gunboats, the Union built a series
of revolutionary river ironclads. First commissioned in January
1862, these ironclads spent the next two years battling for control
of the Mississippi, fighting in a string of decisive engagements
that altered the entire course of the war. This book explains how
these vessels worked, how they were constructed, how they were
manned and how they were fought.
