| The Navy Times: BOOK Of SUBMARINES |
"The Navy Times: BOOK Of SUBMARINES" A Political, Social, and Military History. - By Brayton Harris, edited by and Foreword by Walter J. Boyne. A compelling and comprehensive history of the submarine—from conception to birth, to maturity during World War I, to the genesis of the mighty nuclear submarine. Shattering long-held myths and misunderstandings, author Brayton Harris traces the development of the submarine through an ear in which writers of fiction saw its merits better than most professionals—until the Germans almost won World War I. He covers the professional and political arrogance that delayed antisubmarine developments for so long that German U-boats almost won World War II as well—and examines post-war progress toward the truly awesome nuclear submarine of today. Along the way, Harris explores the shifting moral issues of "unrestricted" naval warfare, outlines the hundred-year search for an effective underwater power plant that culminated in the nuclear reactor. A fascinating exploration of the steps and stumbles during development, a rousing tribute to those who fought and died, and a powerful study of submarine's impact on America. Includes chapters dealing with both World War I and World War II. The German U-boats and the American submarines in the Pacific during World War II. Softbound edition, 398 pages, 55 black and white photos. Several diagrams and an index.
