But he's a Virginian, joining the fledgling Confederate States Navy in 1861. After fighting along the Potomac with the Army of Virginia, Ker and his mentor, Captain Parker Trezevant, burn, sink, and destroy across the Caribbean to undermine the Union and force a truce favorable to the Confederacy. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n But when their first cruiser proves too slow and small, Ker joins Commander James Bullock in London to buy or build a ship of war that can sweep Yankee commerce from the seas. A daring coup puts Ker in command of the most dangerous raider ever to range from Brazil to Boston, but the bloodiest battle is yet to come -- a confrontation between the ex-opium clipper C.S.S. \u003ci\u003eMaryland\u003c\/i\u003e and the Union cruiser that has trailed her across a quarter of the world. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eA Country of Our Own\u003c\/i\u003e is historical sea fiction at its best -- authentic, engrossing, and masterfully paced -- from the master sea-yarner \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e says \"knows what he is writing about when it comes to anything on, above, or below the water.\"","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871651483806,"sku":"HPC-9780671047412","price":30.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780671047412.jpg?v=1779618179","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780671047412","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
