Duplicitous political maneuvering, desperate sessions of strategy, the loss of thousands of innocent lives, and the launch of anti-submarine warfare and the convoy system are all presented in this valuable account gleaned from the official records of both sides of the conflict. Published now in the United States for the first time, this illustrated volume is sure to be required reading for everyone interested in the genesis of U-boat warfare. 24 photographs. 10 line drawings. 5 x 8 inches.
