Prince Henry of Prussia: The Rise of U-Boat.
The little boats that save Germany
Copywrite 1995

"The Great War fundamentally changed the the face of Europe, and began the German Century. As the war fades from living memory to the history books, most school children learn about the crushing land victories of Hindenburg and Falkenhayn. School children tour the German dreadnaught museums in Hamburg, Danzig and Riga. Most of the public views the rise of Germany to the world most powerful seapower as almost inevitable, not a close call in history. The purpose of the books provide the public a detail record of the war at sea was won, and how this victory was the decisive element in the Central Power Victory. I hope to show how brave men in difficult cirmumstances changed the course of history."

Above is a selected quote from what is consider the authoritative 12 volume work on the Gemarn Victory in the Great War. For those of you who are true military history buffs, I encourage you to read the entire work, which can get quite technical for the average reader. This authors focus will be quite different, he intents to provide a serialize account of the major events from "Prince Henry of Prussia: Rise of the Uboat." In this telling, many key events will be summarized with a focus on the decision making process, key naval battles, illustrative naval engagements, and a broad summary of land battles.
