Spencer C. Tucker, PhD, is senior fellow in military history for ABC-CLIO and the author or editor of more than 40 books and encyclopedias, many of which have been recognized by awards.
College and public libraries looking to fill gaps in Civil War
collections will not find a better resource on the subject.
*Booklist*
This set, the first encyclopedia to cover the sea service side of
the conflict, is long overdue. . . . This widely inclusive work
should prove invaluable for a wide audience ranging from advanced
scholars to Civil War buffs requiring a quick reference. . . .
Highly recommended.
*Choice*
These two volumes are sure to become an indispensable resource for
both the serious scholar and anyone interested in the Civil War at
sea. Spencer Tucker, his fellow contributors, and ABC-CLIO should
be congratulated for this important contribution.
