Raimondo Luraghi

Raimondo Luraghi's books examine the Civil War in the United States, naval organization, military institutions, regional economy, and the plantation South. Five Lectures surveys the conflict and its historical problems. A History of the Confederate Navy and The Confederate Navy focus on ships, personnel, strategy, administration, and the constraints faced by a wartime force.

The Rise and Fall of the Plantation South places military history beside the social and economic structures that preceded and shaped the war. Across the cluster, Luraghi connects campaigns with institutions and resources. The outcome of conflict depends not only on battlefield decisions, but also on labor systems, production, logistics, political aims, and the capacity to sustain organization over time.
