The Victory at Sea

This 1921 Pulitzer Prize awarded history has been written in response to a demand for some account of the generally very misunderstood German submarine campaign in the World War I and particularly of the means by which it was defeated. The interest of the public in such a story is due to the fact that during the war the sea forces were compelled to take all possible precautions to keep the enemy from learning anything about the various devices and means used to oppose or destroy the under-water craft.Contents:When Germany Was Winning the WarThe Return of the "Mayflower"The Adoption of the ConvoyAmerican Destroyers in ActionDecoying Submarines to DestructionAmerican College Boys and SubchasersThe London FlagshipSubmarine Against SubmarineThe American Mine Barrage in the North SeaGerman Submarines Visit the American CoastFighting Submarines from the AirThe Navy Fighting on the LandTransporting Two Million American Soldiers to France
