The Blockade Runner

In the last days of the Civil War, the sea offered fortune, freedom—and death.

The Blockade Runner: A Story of Love and Defiance During the Last Days of the Civil War follows the dangerous world of men and women caught in the struggle to run the Union blockade. Fast ships, desperate cargoes, divided loyalties, and the constant threat of capture turn every voyage into a gamble.

Set against the fading Confederacy and the waters of the Carolina coast and beyond, David Fooks combines maritime history, wartime danger, and human drama in a story of courage, love, survival, and defiance.
