A British naval officer, receiving surrendered U-boats at Harwich in November 1918, is handed the diary of a German submarine commander. The entries that follow, invented by King-Hall, trace Karl’s war through patrols and sinkings in the North Sea, the politics of unrestricted submarine warfare, and a doomed love affair that runs through the whole conflict.
A convincing piece of wartime fiction by a serving Royal Navy officer, still prized by readers of naval history. Download the free EPUB.
