Omschrijving

Presented in a deluxe, oversize edition, learn about the story of the American Civil War's ironclad warships with the New York Times bestselling Hazardous Tales graphic novel series

With 16 pages of never-before-seen material, this brand-new, oversize edition of Big Bad Ironclad! just got a whole lot bigger and badder!

In the 1800s, the waterways of America were full of powerful wooden ships carrying goods from place to place. These ships were great for transport, but they had one major problem . . . they tended to sink when hit with cannon balls. As the Civil War battles took to the waves, soldiers on both sides started to wonder, what if these ships were made of something stronger? If they could build a boat out of iron, wouldn't it be stronger than any other warship? It was these question that launched the race between the North and South to create the biggest, best ironclad warship.

In Big Bad Ironclad! learn the story of the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia (also called the Merrimack)--two of the world's first ironclad ships--and their fascinating role in the Civil War. As these ships barrel toward battle, learn about the many political and military leaders, from President Lincoln and his cabinet to secretary of the Navy and "Father Neptune" Gideon Welles, who helped lead the North to victory. When these two massive ships finally face off, it will be a battle that changes warfare forever.
