Raising the Hunley skillfully combines the history of the lost, top-secret Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley with the modern day search and recovery operation that brought it from its watery grave to national limelight.
Equally replete with recountings of the gruesome deaths of the Hunley's first two crews (including its namesake), the legal maneuvering the surrounded the sub at every stage of its life and the impressive scientific undertakings involved in excavating the ship, the book has something for everyone.
