N2  - "The Story of Our Submarines" by John Graham Bower is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the development and operational history of British submarines during World War I, detailing their technological advancements, strategic uses, and the experiences of the personnel who served aboard them. This work is likely to appeal to readers interested in military history, naval warfare, and the intricacies of submarine technology and tactics during the Great War.  At the start of the narrative, Bower discusses the underappreciated role of British submarines in the war, contrasting them with the more publicly recognized German U-boats. He outlines the enlistment process, training, and characteristics of submarine sailors, emphasizing their unique camaraderie and the perilous nature of their service. The opening also includes technical specifications and the shifting strategies and designs of submarines throughout the war, setting the stage for detailed accounts of specific missions and battles that would follow in later chapters.
