Product Description

Product Description

As was the case in World War II, one of the greatest threats to Britain during World War I was the German U-Boat menace. Gordon Williamson traces the development of the U-Boat from the Brandtaucher, designed by Wilhelm Bauer, the father of the German submarine arm, in 1850, through to the commissioning of Germany's first U-Boat to go into service, the U-1, in 1906. All of the main types of World War I U-Boat are then covered. The operational history of the U-Boat service is also covered in some depth. Included are details of the campaigns in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, along with the slow build-up of anti-submarine measures by the allies.

He spent seven years with the military Police TA and has published a number of books and articles on the decorations of the Third Reich and their winners.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sparkling bargain, 8 May 2002
By A Customer
Gordon Williamson went through the treasure trove of the U-Boat Archive in Germany to unearth some rare photographs of Imperial German U-boats, which make a refreshing change from those well known recycled classics of the period. Together with the concise text, this would make a good read for anyone who wants to get an overview over U-boats in the Imperial Navy. What puts the icing on the cake is the excellent coloured artwork, that really brings this forgotten period of submarine technology development back to life again. The perfectionist might find a few minor errors in the work, but in overall this is a splendid compendium and at under £8 a bargain, too. Highly recommended!
