{"product_id":"union-monitor-1861-65-angus-konstam-9781841763064","title":"Union Monitor 1861 65","description":"The first seagoing ironclad was the USS Monitor, and its profile has made it one of the most easily recognised warships of all time. Following her inconclusive battle with the Confederate ironclad Virginia on March 9, 1862, the production of Union monitors was accelerated. By the end of the year a powerful squadron of monitor vessels protected the blockading squadrons off the Southern coastline, and were able to challenge Confederate control of her ports and estuaries. Further technological advancements were included in subsequent monitor designs, and by the end of the war the US Navy possessed a modern coastal fleet carrying the most powerful artillery afloat. This book covers the design, development and operational history of the Union's Monitor fleet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angus Konstam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841763063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841763064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.81h x 7.23w x 0.15d","brand":"Angus Konstam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938907652351,"sku":"9781841763064","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_35c5744f-04d4-41e7-90cd-1e704b242824.jpg?v=1681438379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/union-monitor-1861-65-angus-konstam-9781841763064","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
