In the Shadow of the Alabama ─ A British Foreign Office and the American Civil War

Author Renata Eley Long presents students, academics, and general interest readers with an examination of British involvement in the U.S. Civil War. The author has organized the main body of her text in twenty chapters devoted to an investigation of the events surrounding the leaking of priveledged information by a British Foreign Office Clerk to London-based agents of the confederacy regarding the potential seizure of the confederate ship the CSS Alabama, and the potential for the British entering the war directly. The author is a freelance writer and an independent historian. Annotation c2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
