The author, a participant in the Alabama's daring exploits, recounts the ship's thrilling escape from British waters, its commissioning and the selection of a crew, and the daring raids it undertook against Union shipping interests.

He vividly captures the day-to-day life aboard the Alabama, the intense drills, the boarding of prizes, and the ever-present threat of capture.
