| Summary: | This book reexamines multiple aspects of the Union blockade during the American Civil War. Michael Bonner and Peter McCord scrutinize the blockade's operation under international maritime law, its psychological effect on citizens of southern port cities and the actuality of blockade runners outside of Confederate lore. This deep examination of the blockade critiques the often uncritically accepted notion that the blockade was, by and large, extremely effective. |
