The CSS Arkansas. A Confederate Ironclad on Western Waters/Арканзас. Броненосец Конфедерации на западных водах

Издание на английском языке
The book is dedicated to CSS Arkansas, an iron Confederate ship that played an important role in the American Civil War. She describes the context of the war, including the surrender of Fort Sumter and the need to create a strong navy to protect the southern rivers. The author talks about the difficulties faced by Arkansas developers, such as the lack of materials and time, as well as how the ship, despite its limitations, was able to achieve significant success in the battles on the Mississippi. The book also highlights the importance of Arkansas as a unique warship, which, although it had a short history, left a significant mark on the military history of the Confederacy and navigation in inland waters.
