<HTML>Hello all:
I'm new to WWI forum , however, I look in often.
Recently an new book has been published by BLUEJACKET BOOKS
titled RAIDERS OF THE DEEP by Lowell Thomas (US)
This 1928 best-seller by the internationally renowned journalist
Lowell Thomas, was the first American account of German submariners
to offer a symathetic, behind-the-scenes look at the men who prowled
the English Channel. the Atlantic and the Mediterranean in U-boats.
Widely known for his news dispatches from the battlefields of WWI, Thomas was immediately successful with this vivid portrait of undersea warfare, which revealed details of the new technology.
In his inimitable style, Thomas allows his subjects to tell their stories in
their own words, rendering an infinitely interesting look at the challenges of life aboard these early submarines. Their dramatic oral histories tell of Walther Schweiger's sinking of the LUSITANIA, of the seven U-boat raiders sent to lay mines across the Atlantic and sink merchant ships off the coast of the United States, and of other riveting
trials and accomplishments.
Lowell Thomas was commissioned by President Woodrow Wilson to
roam the battle areas during World War I and make a historical record
of the course of the war, He was the author of some fifty books and a pioneer news broadcaster whose voice on "Movietone News" was known to millions of Americans.
This is a 2004 edition, with intrroduction by Gary E. Weir, and is available from BLUEJACKET BOOKS Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD (USA) - ISBN 1-59114-861-8
Have a nice day,
