Robinson (US history, South Texas Community College, McAllen) rescues from obscurity the two Civil War battles of Fort Fisher, North Carolina, eclipsed by General Grant's concurrent operations against Richmond. The author depicts a well-documented account of the naval assault against "the Achilles' heel of the Union blockade," including b&w illustrations of the site (now a state park), key players, ships, and maps.
