Synopsis
On 9 March 1862, an epic battle was fought that not only affected the course of the American Civil War, but forever changed the face of naval warfare. A unique mixture of technology and events brought the MONITOR and the MERRIMAC together on that day in Hampton Roads, Virginia, in the first battle of ironclad ships. However, they would never have met had it not been for the engineering genius and determination of one man, John Ericsson. Monitor is the fascinating saga of arguably the most famouis ship in American history, of the events leading up to and following the battle, and of the people that made them happen. Through James deKay's skill as an historian and storyteller, the legacy of the MONITOR is brought into dramatic new focus. `Written with panache, sophisticated understanding and attention to detail. . . The book is, simply, a little treasure. ' KIRKUS REVIEWS
