Written when submarines were new to the world’s navies, Herbert Fyfe’s book surveys their history from early inventors such as the ill-fated John Day to the boats of his own time. He discusses the place of the submarine in war, the morality of submarine attack, its mechanism and likely future, with contributions from Sir Edward Reed and Admiral Fremantle.
A fascinating look at how the submarine was imagined just before it transformed naval warfare. Download the free EPUB.
