To the Uttermost Ends of the Earth

📚 To the Uttermost Ends of the Earth by Phil Keith with Tom Clavin

During the Civil War, the Confederate raider CSS Alabama wreaks havoc on Union merchant shipping. Determined to stop her, the Union sends Captain John Winslow and the USS Kearsarge on a relentless hunt that leads across the Atlantic to a dramatic confrontation off the coast of France.

Adding a personal dimension to the pursuit, Winslow and the Alabama’s captain, Raphael Semmes, once served together—before the war placed them on opposing sides.

Combining maritime adventure with carefully researched history, this gripping nonfiction account brings the captains, crews, and dangers of naval warfare to life. A great pick for readers who enjoy Civil War history and true stories of pursuit at sea. (publishersweekly.com)
