In this book, the author provides a thoroughly researched analysis of how the mariners aboard the "Monitor" were fighting "blindly" below the waterline and lived and coped with the metal monster they called "iron coffin". Mindell examines the experience of the men and their reactions to the thrills and dangers of the new machine and naval action. Illustrated.
