INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE AT ALL TIMES- NEVER BORING

Most books on U boat warfare cover the Second World War exclusively, so I was happy to read Gray's history of the action in the first one. The book is a thriller from start to finish and is never boring at any point. It begins with a brief description of the first submarines and then jumps to the action of 1914-18. We learn about the many sinkings of Allied merchant and naval craft and of the U boats themselves. Gray traces the evolution of the conflict well and gives the reader a feeling for what must have been in the minds of the combatants as events became increasingly desperate. I would encourage anyone interested in naval issues to read this book. Only those wishing to know the details on every sinking of the war will be at all dissapointed.
