Hans Joachim Koerver Kaiser's U-Boat Assault on America

Annotation

"An absorbing work for those interested in both the Great War and early submarine-based strategic theory." -Naval HistoryThis deeply researched and engaging account of the use of U-Boats in the First World War focuses on both diplomatic and economic aspects as well as the tactical and strategic use of the U-boats.The book also examines the role played by US president Woodrow Wilson and his response to American shipping being sunk by U-boats-and how that ultimately forced his hand to declare war on Germany.Includes photos and illustrations"An excellent illumination of a multiclass, militaristic, and diplomatically inept state trying to adapt to the realities of modern war and the exploitation of new technology-and catastrophically failing." -Naval History"Highly recommended." -The Northern Mariner
