Summary

You may not have heard of this largely unsung hero of the Civil War- William J. Cushing...but you are about to. In this interview with author Jerome Preisler (Civil War Commando-William J. Cushing and the Daring Raid to Sink the CSS Albemarle) we are treated to a first-hand look at what goes into the writing of a great non-fiction novel and why 21 year old Commander William Cushing, an undisciplined hothead who dropped out of Annapolis three months before graduating, became the "Jack Ryan" of the Union effort to stop the South's most formidable weapon- the ironclad CSS Albemarle..
