This is a major new naval history of the First World War which
reveals the decisive contribution of the war at sea to Allied
victory. In a truly global account, Lawrence Sondhaus traces the
course of the campaigns in the North Sea, Atlantic, Adriatic,
Baltic and Mediterranean and examines the role of critical
innovations in the design and performance of ships, wireless
communication and firepower. He charts how Allied supremacy led the
Central Powers to attempt to revolutionize naval warfare by
pursuing unrestricted submarine warfare, ultimately prompting the
United States to enter the war. Victory against the submarine
challenge, following their earlier success in sweeping the seas of
German cruisers and other surface raiders, left the Allies free to
use the world's sea lanes to transport supplies and troops to
Europe from overseas territories, and eventually from the United
States, which proved a decisive factor in their ultimate victory.
