When Frank J. Merli died in December 2000, he left many
manuscripts related to Great Britain and the American Civil War. At
the request of Merli s widow, David M. Fahey has edited this volume
for publication. It offers a spirited critique of the way
historians have presented the international dimension of the
American Civil War. The book offers a fresh account of the escape
of the CSS Alabama from British territorial waters in 1862, the
decision of its captain, Raphael Semmes, to fight a Union gunboat
off the coast of France in 1864, and the curious story of a
British-built Chinese flotilla that could have become a small
Confederate fleet had negotiations with the Chinese not broken
down. The book will appeal to naval and diplomatic historians and
to all Civil War buffs."
