so-soThe book looks at 3 distinct areas: commerce raiding and blockaders, river combat, and assaults on Confederate ports. The info on the development of monitors and weaponry is excellent. The riverine aspect is uninspired. The blockade running is interesting. The success of assaults on ports was dependent on coordination and cooperation. Overall, in the debate over the utility of blockades, he waffles and delivers a highly qualified support.

This seemed so light and fluffy after Navalny, but it was enjoyable even if Shiloh did really grate on my nerves at times. Perhaps Rowell wanted to portray her as authentic, but I did see her as a bit of an attention seeker. Her high school relationship with Cary drove me a little insane. I did like Cary, both mothers and Juniper.
