James D. Bulloch: Secret Agent and Mastermind of the Confederate Navy

Discover the astonishing life of James Dunwoody Bulloch, the American naval hero who conspired to destroy the Union and kidnap its president, yet later became a mentor to Theodore Roosevelt.

This first-ever biography sheds light on Bulloch's remarkable career as head of the South's covert shipbuilding and logistics program overseas during the American Civil War. With 49 warships, blockade runners, and tenders acquired, he played a pivotal role in sustaining Confederate logistics and financing covert operations.
