Hunley: The Secret Hope of the Confederacy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis revelatory account of the creation and wartime actions of the Confederacy's submarine is a classic of Civil War history (Clive Cussler).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the evening of February 17, 1864, the Confederacy's  H. L. Hunley  sank the Union's formidable sloop of war the USS  Housatonic  and became the first submarine in world history to sink an enemy ship. But after accomplishing such a feat, the  Hunley  and her crew of eight also vanished beneath the cold Atlantic waters off Charleston, South Carolina. For generations, the legend of the  Hunley  grew as searchers prowled the harbor, looking for remains. Even after the submarine was definitively located in 1995 and recovered five years later, those legends have continued to flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a tour de force of document-sleuthing and insights gleaned from the excavation of this remarkable vessel, the distinguished Civil War–era historian Tom Chaffin presents the most thorough telling of the  Hunley 's story possible. Of panoramic breadth, this saga begins long before the submarine was even assembled and follows the tale into the boat's final hours and through its recovery in 2000. Engaging and groundbreaking,  The H. L. Hunley  provides the definitive account of a fabled craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe boldest and most powerful book yet written on the saga of the  H. L. Hunley . Each detail is sharply etched and dramatically told for a compelling read. —Clive Cussler\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67937903869988,"sku":"YSL40166","price":7.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2614\/7620\/files\/81_2ZbJ0P3L._SY1500.jpg?v=1793278389","url":"https:\/\/booktavero.com\/products\/b003ayzb5m","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
