Summary
"In 1861, as the flames of war were being fanned throughout the nation, a young midshipman resigned from the United States Navy and made his way south to Montgomery, Alabama. There, he offered his services to the new Confederate States of America. Charles W. Read, in the next four years, compiled a record of ingenuity and daring unsurpassed in the annals of American naval history."--Jacket.
