An engaging, modern, and revelatory account of imperial Germany's terrifying U-boat campaign along the North American coastline in the summer of 1918

When America declared war on Germany in 1917, it unleashed a resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare off the North American coast. Until now, German naval records have not been extensively utilized in English-language histories of this brief but intense period of naval combat in the Atlantic. By studying and comparing both American and German archival sources, author Dominic Etzold has constructed an engaging, modern, and revelatory account of the operation.

By focusing on personalities, Etzold has crafted a work that is enjoyable and engaging to read, not just a reference.

AUTHOR: Dominic Etzold dedicated more than three years to the research for and composition of this manuscript. He worked extensively with archives both in the US and in Germany. Dominic holds a degree in history and politics from Drexel University. He lives in New Jersey.
