Descripton: This book perhaps presents the most accurate history of early submarines (1580-1900) ever written (including the work of Wilhelm Bauer), and gives extensive coverage to the WWI and WWII development and employment of U-boats. The material on Dr. Walter's efforts is unique -- the author got most of his information directly from Dr. Walter, ca. 1967.
