[and] the response of Britain to the efforts of the Confederacy to acquire a navy in Britain and thus traverse Britain's neutral obligations.\" -American Historical ReviewThis book, originally issued in 1970, describes the frustrated, faltering, and sometimes heroic attempts of the Confederacy to circumvent British neutrality and build a navy in Great Britain during the American Civil War. The story possesses many of the elements of good fiction: there are the sharply rendered principal actors; the suspense and narrative excitement of the adventures of the Southern raiders; and the cunning appraisals of diplomatic intrigues, maneuverings, and oversights. This is a readable and illuminating account of the diplomatic maneuverings behind the Confederacy's failed attempt to enlist British aid for the secessionist cause.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67634615877920,"sku":"USED0253217350","price":14.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Nqv8Mu-GL_5ee71648-aea4-472a-b9d8-7b824239f312.jpg?v=1791107713","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/great-britain-and-the-confederate-navy-1861-1865-0253217350-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
