Gray Raiders of the Sea: How Eight Confederate Warships Destroyed the Union's High Seas Commerce

Rating:
Summary: Broad coverage, seems accurate, but poorly organized.
Review: This book superficially covers the operations of the commerce destroyers of the Confederate State Navy during the American Civil War. For an historical work, this book is poorly organized. It bounces all over the place when it should have maintained chronological order. Moreover, the events discussed appear to have occurred in limbo. There is very little attempt to place them in context with other events of the period. Coverage seems accurate, but I would have liked to have seen a bit more depth. Sources are first rate and the the work is well documented.
