4.0 out of 5 stars Very good history up to the Cold War era
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2005
This is a very readable, engaging history of submarine technology, events and politics. Highly recommended. Contains a number of black and white illustrations and photos but is primarily text.

Covers submarines from very early origins (1580!) to present times. The book is weighted towards the pre-1945 era: about one third of the book covers pre-1914 developments with much of the rest covering the two world wars. There's relatively light coverage of the Cold War and present era - less than 50 pages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Overview of the History of the Submarine
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 1998
I have read nearly every decent book you can get on U-boats and submarine warfare during WWI and WWII. This new book is one of the better books that offers you a more complete understanding of their historical background and role. Most people know about the U-boats and the terrible campaign they waged against Merchant shipping during both World Wars but who knows about the very early submarines, their sometimes unfortunate crews and their inventors.
This was a great story and I was unsure if I would find the history behind the submarine as interesting as its role in naval warfare but I did. The author tells a great story that never gets boring and keeps you reading page after page with interesting bits of information and first hand accounts of those involved. I found this book easy to read and it was a joy to lay back and read a few pages each night.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing special
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2003
If you want a general history of submarines from the start till now its okay.
It covers the early history very well right up to WW1. Has quite a few quite interesting facts nothing though I felt of any major significance.
WW2 is sort of covered.
What particularly did annoy me is that the post war era, I felt this section was very short and badly covered. What there is almost all about the US, a little about Russia and almost nothing about anyone else.
