- Summary
- "Focusing on British involvement in the war, this history names the overseas bankers and manufacturers who, in need of cotton and other exports, financed and equipped the ships that ran the blockade. The author attempts to disentangle the names of the captains--many were Royal Navy officers on temporary leave--and tells their stories in their own words"--
