Description

In Cooperation with Spoken Realms
The Victory at Sea. By William Sowden Sims, Rear-Admiral of the US Navy. Commander of the American naval forces operating in European waters during the Great War. (World War One)
In Cooperation with Burton J. Hendrick. Twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize: 1921 in History for The Victory at Sea and in 1929 in Biography or Autobiography for The Training of An American: The Earlier Life and Letters of Walter H Page.
1921 Pulitzer Prize-winner in history. Published by Doubleday, Page and Company 1920.
From the Author’s Preface:
… this story has been written in response to a demand for some account of the very generally misunderstood submarine campaign and, particularly, of the means by which it was defeated.
While opinions may differ to a certain extent as to the influence exerted upon the campaign by the various forms of tactics, the means and weapons employed, and the general strategy adopted, I have given what I believe to be a consensus of the best-informed opinion upon these matters; I have taken advantage of all of the information now available to ensure accuracy in the account of the conditions that confronted the European naval forces, and in the description of the various operations that have been selected as typical examples of this very extraordinary warfare.
