American naval hero and Confederate secret agent James Dunwoody
Bulloch was widely considered the Confederacy's most dangerous man
in Europe. As head of the South's covert shipbuilding and logistics
program overseas during the American Civil War, Bulloch acquired a
staggering 49 warships, blockade runners, and tenders; built
"invulnerable" ocean-going ironclads; sustained Confederate
logistics; financed covert operations; and acted as the mastermind
behind the destruction of 130 Union ships. Ironically, this man who
conspired to destroy the Union and kidnap its president later stood
as the favorite uncle and mentor to another U. S. president,
Theodore Roosevelt. Bulloch's astonishing life unfolds in this
first-ever biography, an engaging chronicle of his rise as one of
America's most admired maritime figures, his pivotal role as one of
its most threatening enemies, and his transformation into America's
greatest forgotten naval hero.
