Synopsis
The intriguing but little known history of the deadly and daring work of the Confederacy's fleet of raiders is revealed in this suspenseful, colourful tale of espionage and warfare. Like most things in the War between the States, it started over cotton: Lincoln's naval blockade prevented the South from exporting their prize commodity to England. The confederacy came up with a unique plan to divert the north's vessels and open the waterways - they covertly constructed a navy in Liverpool. With an unforgettable cast of characters, including rebel spies in Liverpool, dashing sea captains and conniving ambassadors The Rebel Raiders brings vibrantly to life a previously neglected aspect of the American Civil War. *An important addition to Civil War scholarship *A fresh look at the single most effective military operation mounted by the South in the entire Civil War

"Political intrigue, swashbuckling adventure...Good entertainment for fans of Civil War tales, naval history, or true stories of high-seas adventure." "deKay's engagingly written book is carefully and knowledgeably constructed, and will appeal to the uninitiated." "Sound and remarkably free of fury, deKay's commendable effort nicely expands coverage of the naval aspects of the Civil War."
