Type Book
Rate 0.0 /5

Accurate in detail, yet written with humanity and humour, this book tells the story of Britain's pioneer submarines during the 1914-1918 war, during which their crews battled courageously in atrocious conditions against a skilled and ruthless enemy and an equally unforgiving sea. This is a tribute to the gallant pioneers who created the legacy of dogged courage, determination, and standards of excellence which remain the proud hallmarks of the Royal Navy's submarine service today.
