Death in the Irish Sea
by - Stokes, Roy
The Sinking of the RMS Leinster
1998, Collins Press, Cork
ISBN 1898256527
153 pages
From the Publisher: Just one month before the end of the First World War, the mail boat RMS Leinster was sunk by three torpedoes fired by the German submarine UB-123 on 10 October 1918. Death in the Irish Sea reveals for the first time the full circumstances of Ireland's greatest maritime disaster. The sinking occurred in sight of Dublin and claimed the lives of 500 of the 771 occupants. The issues of Home Rule and Conscription were extremely sensitive and demands for a public enquiry into the sinking of the RMS Leinster were refused. Very limited investigation followed and the findings were censored.

Fighting the U-boats
by - Chatterton, E. Keble
1942, Hurst & Blackett, Ltd., London
216 pages, 13 maps, 7 photos
Concerning the anti U-boat war by the British during World War I in the period 1914-1916, and using British and German sources, which is rather amazing as it was published during the Second World War. Gives quite a good idea about the first three years of the war at sea but of course also includes some very patriotic language, due to the period in which it was published.
Find and Destroy
by - Messimer, Dwight
Antisubmarine Warfare in World War I
2001, United States Naval Inst.
ISBN 1557504474
Hardcover, 312 pages, 25 photos, 6 drawings, 10 maps
From the publisher: "World War I was the crucible of
antisubmarine warfare (ASW), and the
years of trial and error between 1914
and 1918 gave rise to the weapons and
tactics used by today’s ASW forces.
With this study, military historian Dwight
Messimer examines the weapons, tactics,
and organization used by all the
belligerents during the war and provides
some surprising findings. Because he
draws heavily from personal accounts as
well as from official records, his book
will appeal to both serious readers
seeking hard facts and to general readers
who like stories about war at sea."

Fips - Legendary U-boat Commander
by - Brooks, Geoffrey
2000, United States Naval Inst.
ISBN 1557502862
Hardcover, 224 pages, illustrations
From the publisher: "Werner Fürbringer (Fips) became one of the most successful U-Boat commanders in WW1 through a blend of skill, daring and, by his own typically modest admission, sheer luck. This vivid memoir, never before published in English, makes compelling reading. This is an inspiring and chivalrous story; it is ironic then that, when finally sunk by the Royal Navy off the East Coast of England, Fips was machine-gunned in the water, contrary to repeated Government denials of such behaviour."

Hardcover, commemorative edition, 448 pages
An American off to World War I, who in civilian life was a builder of submarines, has two ships sunk from under him by U-33, a U-boat he himself had built. The crew of the second ship sunk manage to capture the U-boat, including its captain. Unable to get to a friendly port because they are repeatedly shelled on sight, then steered on a false course by a traitor among the merchant crew, the U-boat ends up in the South Pacific. Needing water and fuel, they make landfall on an island which they soon discover is inhabited by prehistoric monsters and ape-men. A movie was later based on this novel. Originally published 1918.

Scapa Flow to the Dover Straits
1935, Thornton Butterworth, London
Hardcover, 416 pages, 16 maps and drawings, 13 photos
This is a portion of the naval memoirs of this admiral, almost a song of praise for himself. However it also gives a very good overview of the anti-submarine activities in the Channel for which he was responsible as he held command of the Dover Patrol.
Of course the Zeebrugge and Oostende raids by his men in 1918 on St.-George's Day were enormous successes and both harbours were completely blocked if you want to believe the man. The reality was somewhat different.

Raiders of the Deep
by - Thomas, Lowell

Mr. Thomas wrote this book in the early 1920s, traveling to Germany to interview many of the U-boat skippers and crews from the Kaiser's U-boat fleet. It's written in a "Boys Own" style and conveys a real sense of excitement and adventure with every page. There are stories of surface gun battles with Q ships, the campaigns against the U.S. east coast in 1918, the sinking of several British battleships off Gallipoli, the hair-raising exploits of the Flanders Flotilla, and many more stories of torpedo malfunctions and unbelievably lucky escapes, e.g., "the torpedo that jumped over a boat." First published 1928.

by - Biggins, John

ISBN 0312105347
369 pages
This book is a very good read. A lot of detail is given, so one can get the feel for life in the service of the Hapsburg submarine corps of the First World War. The novel is told from the point of view of a surviving U-boat commander, who is Czech, and is reminiscing about his career in the Adriatic from an old folks' home. The novel gives one a good feeling for life aboard WWI U-boats, starting with adventures aboard a Holland-class boat, and then moving on to U-boats that Austria-Hungary had purchased from Germany.

The Splinter Fleet of the Otranto Barrage
by - Millholland, Ray
1936, Bobbs-Merrill, Indianapolis
Hardcover, 307 pages, 18 photos, 3 maps, 1 diagram
The Splinter Fleet was a small group of United States submarine chasers, so-named because the 110-foot vessels were constructed from wood and did not stand up well to collision. In this book, the Chief Engineer of one of these boats relates his adventures in 1918 in defending the Otranto Barrage (a line of ships meant to bottle up the enemy naval forces in the Adriatic); battling German and Austrian submarines (of which his boat was officially credited for sinking 13); undertaking a special mission to transport the Serbian crown jewels from Corfu to a safer location; and participating in what was to be a suicide mission against the Austrian forces as Durazzo, but from which all 11 splinter boats involved returned intact. This, the only general naval engagement in which the U.S. Navy participated in the course of World War I, was later the basis for a movie. The author's interviews with a number of German and Austrian submarine officers after the war additionally give the reader a glimpse of the proceedings from another point of view. A relatively objective, informative and entertaining book.

Topics also covered include the early evolution of submarines, the search for AE2's wreck and its subsequent discovery. An appendix gives a profile of each crewmember of the AE2 - an interesting insight into the men that crewed early submarines.

Titanic and Other Ships
by - Lightoller, Charles Herbert
1935, Ivor Nicholson & Watson
Hardcover, 344 pages
This book details the wildly adventurous career of Titanic officer Charles Herbert Lightoller. After surviving the Titanic disaster, Lightoller went on to command a torpedo boat in the Nore Defence Flotilla, and two destroyers of the Dover Patrol. A first-hand account, giving a vivid picture of how the "gentlemen of the other firm" felt towards the U-boats. Lightoller sank Werner Fürbringer's UB-110, and it is interesting to compare his account of their encounter with the one in Fips.

ISBN 1841763624

From the publisher: "As was the case in World War II, one of the greatest threats to Britain during World War I was the German U-Boat menace. Gordon Williamson traces the development of the U-Boat from the Brandtaucher, designed by Wilhelm Bauer, the father of the German submarine arm, in 1850, through to the commissioning of Germany's first U-Boat to go into service, the U-1, in 1906. All of the main types of World War I U-Boat are then covered. The operational history of the U-Boat service is also covered in some depth. Included are details of the campaigns in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, along with the slow build-up of anti-submarine measures by the allies."

The Zeebrugge and Ostend Raids 1918

Hardcover, 208 pages, 2 maps, 33 photos
This book covers the naval war between the units of the German Marinekorps Flandern and the British Navy in 1917-1918 in the North Sea and Channel, and especially the danger of the German U-boats operating from the Belgian ports. It looks at the story from both sides, which makes it rather unique; shows the importance of politics in the British Navy (especially to get the Dover command); and most of all shows that the raids on St. George's Day 1918, made in an attempt to block the harbours of Zeebrugge and Oostende, were not the success they are always made out to be in British history books.
Coverage is very complete. The part providing the German point of view was reviewed in its entirety by Johan Ryheul, author of Marinekorps Flandern.
