I like historical fiction. But there must be many conspiracy theories surrounding the sinking of the Maine. Your excerpt is quite short, but compelling.

Convergence of Valor - The Men of the HL Hunley (Book) - 9/1/2006 3:04:27 PM
I have read Convergence of Valor cover to cover, and I highly recommend it to fans of Civil War history and/or submarines. The story concerns both the early development of the submarine and the history of naval warfare in America. The H. L. Hunley was the first submarine built in the U.S. during the Civil War. The book chronicles the heroic efforts of a few engineers of European descent who built and tested the man-powered submersible. It was an exquisitely dangerous endeavor to dive beneath the surface of Mobile Bay with your view of the seven other crewmembers lit only by a candle at each end of the sub. The Hunley was only minimally tested enough to satisfy the team of engineers before the Confederate Navy, desperately needing to break the Yankee blockade of Charleston, commandeered the Hunley. The rest is history. Mr. Goncarovs has composed his book as historical fiction because no one actually knows what happened to the Hunley. The author of Convergence of Valor proposes a likely description of what it felt like to be a member of the crew on that risky mission. Guntis Goncarovs carefully unfolds the mystery surrounding the H. L. Hunley and its ill-fated crew. Damn the torpedoes! A Yankee ship is dead ahead!
