Blockade runners were/are ships designed for clandestine tasks such as running the blockade- a legal ban on ship traffic which is laid down by Naval vessels ( in some cases the Coast Guard might assist in preventing blockade running) the were used widely in the Civil War by the Confederates. The South either built blockade runners themselves or purchased them from Great Britain. During the US Civil War the term can also refer to the people that tried to avoid being captured by the Union blockading ships. These captains would either be shipping supplies into the South or be shipping products like cotton out to Europe.
Blockade Runners were also used during the Diaspora following the Russian revolution and B/R traffic operated in both directions in the Russian Civil War ( which followed Revolution). There is some evidence a White Russian Blockade runner blew up in New York Harbor in the late twenties. three crewmen survived and they turned out to be Russian aliens. I do not know how the case was resolved after they recovered from their injuries. They may have applied for Political asylum. a Good action adventure movie could be done on the White Russian Blockade runners which may have included submarines and aircraft as well as conventional ships.

Judged from the title, no. actual French title is the forcers of the Blockade- or those who defied the Blockade., Sounds like a straight Civil War novel. Blockade Runners were used for logistics transport by the Confederacy and this was, as one can guess, a risky business. my guess a straight naval adventure yarn.
