Description
"[This is] a convincing and splendidly succinct account of Dudley's considerable and even vital contribution to the Union's triumph." -Brian Jenkins, author of Britain and the War for the Union, Volumes 1 and 2.--Brian Jenkins "An engrossing, well-written account of Thomas Haines Dudley's efforts as Union consul in Liverpool to block the Confederacy's attempt to build a navy in British shipyards. Had Dudley failed, the Confederacy might have won diplomatic recognition and changed the outcome of the war. Milton's finely crafted work is a story of intrigue and deception that adds another vital element to the international dimensions of the American Civil War." -Howard Jones, author of Union in Peril: The Crisis over British Intervention in the Civil War and New Birth of Freedom: The Union and Slavery in the Diplomacy of the Civil War.--Howard Jones
