In this second of David Sullivan's series on the history of the United States Marines, the Marines come into direct battle with the Confederate States Marines at Drewry's Bluff, May 15, 1862. There Corporal John Mackie earned the first Medal of Honor awarded to an enlisted United States Marine. In this second year of the war, the Marines fought everywhere the Navy did, especially in the Union's year-long struggle to gain control of the Mississippi River and the Confederacy's coasts. Bringing the personalities of the Corps to life, Sullivan includes such episodes as when Captain John L. Broome's two hundred Marines occupied New Orleans briefly until the Army relieved him. Sullivan, continuing in the tradition of his first work, also shows the everyday life of the Leathernecks at sea and on shore. During 1862, the United States Marine Band began its rise to preeminence. The author also uses his immense research into unpublished sources concerning Lieutenant Colonel John G. Reynolds' court-martial to end the legend that an internecine struggle within the Corps' senior ranks was responsible for the Corps not taking an even more active part in the Civil War.

Features an abundant selection of illustrations, photographs, maps and tables, many of them never before published, sourced from the vast Federal Archives at Freiburg and several private archives.\nIn 1864, the Prussian Navy, the core element of what would become the Imperial German Navy, acquired its first ironclad vessels from Great Britain and France. Until then, it had existed as a relatively insignificant force, mainly consisting of a handful of gunboats, corvettes, and other small craft. However, over the subsequent 50 years, the fleet would rise from these small beginnings into one capable of threatening the Royal Navy on the high seas. The development of the Imperial German Navy mirrored the rise of Germany as a technical power following unification in 1871. Still, such a rise needed more than just technical ability – it required considerable political will and economic resources.\nThe early chapters of From Ironclads to Dreadnoughts cover the initial purchase of ships from abroad, the switch to German shipyards, and the hesitant attempts of Emperor Wilhelm II to develop the navy. The later chapters present the fundamental changes after Alfred von Tirpitz became naval minister in 1897. They focus on the history of the various classes of ships, from their inception to the wide variety of design influences, through their history in service and individual fates.\nThe text is accompanied by an abundant selection of illustrations, photographs, maps and tables, many of them never before published, sourced from the vast Federal Archives at Freiburg or several private archives – including those of both authors – after many years of research.
