Stoker's Submarine: Australia's daring raid on the Dardenelles on the day of the Gallipoli landing Paperback – April 1, 2002

On 25 April 1915-the day the Anzacs landed at Gallipoli-Lieutenant Stoker set out as captain of the Australian submarine AE2 on a mission to breach the treacherous Dardanelles Strait with the intention of disrupting Turkish supply lines to the isolated Gallipoli peninsula. Facing dangerous currents, mines and withering enemy fire, Stoker and his men succeeded where British and French submarines had come to grief.

Essentially a story in two parts, we follow the AE2 and its crew as they complete daring feats and then as they are attacked and captured as Prisoners of War. We then meet up with the AE2 in the late 1990's when it is found lying intact on the floor of the Sea of Marmara and is finally celebrated, after so many years forgotten, as the most tangible relic of Australia's role at Gallipoli.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting history
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2014

While not an enthralling read (it isn't meant to be) it does provide a good and quite readable history of one of the important (and overlooked) events in Australia's naval history. It's not that good I'd pay $85 for a new copy, but my second hand copy for $35 was reasonable value. Its a pity its not available in Kindle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to get book
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2009
not worth the effort. While still of interest it somehow misses being exciting and I can only recommend this book to the extreme afficianado.

Very well researched and detailed record of this extraordinary character and the early days of submarine warfare. The book places Stoker and his campaigns in context both historically and tactically. Includes some technical details to help underline his achievements and those of his crew. Very readable and covering a topic not well covered elsewhere. Forgotten heroes remembered.
