Title: The last 100 pages are great.
Product review: This book had the potential to be an American "Hornblower" but instead is a series of vignettes about the early Civil war. The main character, Lt. Bowater, barely appears in half the book. The story finally gets going in the last 100 pages, if you can stick to it that long.
