Sinopsis
On 9 March 1862, an epic battle was fought that not only affected the course of the American Civil War, but forever changed the face of naval warfare. A unique mixture of technology and events brought the MONITOR and the MERRIMAC together on that day in Hampton Roads, Virginia, in the first battle of ironclad ships. However, they would never have met had it not been for the engineering genius and determination of one man, John Ericsson. Monitor is the fascinating saga of arguably the most famouis ship in American history, of the events leading up to and following the battle, and of the people that made them happen. Through James deKay's skill as an historian and storyteller, the legacy of the MONITOR is brought into dramatic new focus. `Written with panache, sophisticated understanding and attention to detail. . . The book is, simply, a little treasure. ' KIRKUS REVIEWS

Críticas
"Altogether absorbing and charming." --The New York Times "GRIPPING SUSPENSE AND EXCITEMENT." --The New York Times Book Review "FASCINATING READING . . . The stirring tale of the unique ship--its brilliant, arrogant inventor John Ericsson, its speedy assembly, and the fateful showdown that made it arguably the most famous vessel in American history--is laid out with rich, vivid detail. . . . DeKay has breathed new life into the story of the Monitor. . . . His anecdotes, his clear grasp of the times, and dramatic descriptions of the battle make this history a must for Civil War buffs and casual readers alike." --The Philadelphia Inquirer "BRINGS TO LIFE A RICH CAST OF CHARACTERS . . . A vivid, informative, fully realized work infused with dramatic momentum." --Houston Chronicle "WRITTEN WITH PANACHE . . . DeKay's tale is a richly brocaded one, serving up the sweetheart deals and political shenanigans that marked the Monitor's progress; elaborating on the rumors that flew before the epic battle like expectations before a championship heavyweight fight; bringing into play the weather and tides and most any other thing that touched upon events. This book is, simply, a little treasure." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
