摘要

This is the latest work by the author in his series of biographical sketches, [Union] Faces of the Civil War (2004), Faces of the Confederacy (2008) and African American Faces of the Civil War (2012), turned out like clockwork every four years by Johns Hopkins University Press. There are 77 'profiles', each one including a photograph - mostly from cartes de visite taken during the period (1861-5) - and fully referenced details of the historical figure in question. You will not find startling new details about flag officers or other well-known ('top-down') Civil War heroes as such. This volume is more about supplementing our understanding of this greatest of nineteenth-century conflicts at sea with not just a bottom-up, 'face of battle' perspective, but with collateral details often left out of analytical narratives preoccupied with the big pictures and interpretations and rather unfortunately obliged to leave the everyday, human 'face' of our collective past in the shadows. 'The history of the Civil War', the author notes, is 'the stories of its soldiers and sailors' (xviii).
