This well-researched, attractively designed book tells the story of the first Confederate submarine to sink a ship. The Hunley mysteriously vanished after the 1864 attack and remained so until its rediscovery in 1995. Walker discusses theories about its disappearance, the painstaking efforts to preserve the vessel's remains, and modern archaeological methods used to learn about the Hunley and its crew. Bib., glos., ind.
