This vivid and impeccably researched book details the life and Civil War battles of Admiral David Farragut. It shines a spotlight and shares new details about the admiral's leadership of the mission to recapture the port of New Orleans from the Confederacy - a campaign historians consider one of the most daring in military history.Farragut is perhaps best known for his order to "Damn the torpedoes.... Full speed ahead." during the Battle of Mobile Bay, which has become a touchstone and rallying cry for the United States Navy.A sweeping and riveting telling of Farragut's career and campaigns, Lincoln's Admiral offers fascinating insights into the strategy and decisions of one of the greatest military leaders on the Civil War - and of all time.

As I read the book I felt as if I were reading a High School textbook. The vocabulary and syntax seemed simple and straightforward. That does not mean that it was not a good book merely that it was simple and easy to read.
Most of the maps included were slightly substandard, several of which had legends too small to read. The photographs in the book were clear and interesting. For anyone who wants a quick read of the life of Admiral Farragut and an overview of the US Navy's campaign on the Mississippi River and Mobile Bay, this is an adequate book.
