Review: Monitor: The Story of the Legendary Civil War Ironclad and the Man Whose Invention Changed the Course of HistoryUser Review - Karen - GoodreadsMy son borrowed this book to complete research for a term paper, and I got hooked! The author shared so many interesting tidbits that aren't common knowledge about the Monitor and the Virginia, their captains, the battle, etc. It was an enjoyable read!
