The Kaiser’s U-Boat Assault on America

HANS JOACHIM KOERVER

What’s interesting about this book is that it sets out the diplomatic stage first, explaining why the Germans used subs and why the British thought they could blockade Germany into submission. The all-out submarine war with America, which the title promises, isn’t covered until the final section of five. By then you’ve had a full exploration of the role of the U-Boat in the ongoing conflict, including the rash decision to sink the Lusitania.
