Query: missing the civil war at sea

Jones writes an attractive and generally engaging narrative of nautical aspects of the American Civil War. Because he is a glorifier of the "Lost Cause," his episodes tend to favor Confederate exploits. As a result Jones misses the woods for the trees. He says almost nothing about the U. S. industrial effort or the chores of blockading or, surprisingly, much about diplomatic elements of the struggle. (This may be because many of the activities violated British law. No mention in the text of the "Alabama claims," the U.K.'s eventual settlement of damages.)The authors of the prefaces, mainly naval historians, save the day in so far as they identify the important dimensions of the conflict, in particular the possibility of mobile warfare. Only on the last two pages or so of his three volumes does J. take note of the importance of the U. S. Navy. So, dear reader, enjoy, but do not expect to learn much of importance about the Civil War at sea.
