The Confederate Navy in Europe

xii, 268 pp. "The first full account of the European activities of the Confederate navy during the American Civil War, The Confederate Navy in Europe deals with the Southerners who sought to procure naval vessels in Great Britain and France, the ships themselves, the British and French who cooperated in the efforts, the impact of the Southern naval activities on the European governments, and the reactions of those governments. The treatment centers on the efforts of Confederate navy officers James D Bulloch, James H North, and Matthew Fontaine Maury to procure warships in Great Britain and France and the British and French governments' efforts to fulfill and implement their neutral obligations."
