Reviews

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.
