This book was originally published in 1957. During the First World
War, German use of unrestricted submarine warfare, supported by
extensive mining and surface raids, very nearly forced Britain out
of the war in 1917. The island's heavy dependence on seaborne
supplies was gravely threatened again in 1939, supplemented this
time by air attacks on shipping. After the war, Commanders Waters
and Barley wrote a Naval Staff History which has long been
recognised as an authoritative study of the impact of the German
campaign and its ultimate defeat by Britain and her allies. It
remains an indispensable basis for any serious study of the Battle
of the Atlantic and has here been updated and revised by Dr Grove,
who also contributes a perceptive introduction outlining its
significance.
