Summary: A Glaring Factual Error
Comment: While this is THE BIBLE for Civil War submarine fans, Regan makes a huge error regarding the history of the Intelligent Whale.
He says crew members were killed in testing the boat (not true- not one person died on the Whale.) He also says it is at the Washington Navy Yard (it is not - it is at the Army National Guard Militia Museum at Sea Girt, New Jersey and has been since April of 1999. See

Summary: Well covered subject
Comment: This is an excellent look at all of the evidence available
of all attempts by both North and South to create the first
viable submarines.It's well written and carefully notes when the
writer's words are hypotheses rather than fact. Unfortunately for the overall story, many documents were lost when the Union
burned Richmond to the ground. Many were also destroyed because submarines fell under the cloak of secrecy and many records
were lost in the attempt to avoid postwar guilt, should such machines be considered "unfair" war devices. A very fine coverage of a little known area of the War Between the States..
Rating: 5
Summary: The Infernal Machines of the Civil War
Comment: As other reviewers have already noted, this is a fantastic book.
The author has fully researched the subject and presents details of many little known facts from the first Confederate submarines which attempted unsuccessful underwater attacks to the first Union submarine that had been intended to sink the ironclad Merrimac (Virginia). The book goes far beyond the history of the Hunley and certainly is a must for anyone interested in the Civil War or the history of the development of submarines. Highly recommended.
