The work delves into the operations and tactics of German submarine warfare during World War I, particularly focusing on the aggressive actions taken by U-boat commanders against both enemy and neutral ships. The opening of the book establishes a grim view of the German submariners, portraying them as ruthless pirates who disregarded humanitarian principles in the pursuit of their military objectives. It begins with a foreword discussing the brotherhood of sea men, only to contrast this by revealing how the German submarine campaigns shattered that unity. The first chapter presents a series of documented accounts of attacks on various vessels, illustrating the indiscriminate violence and looting perpetrated by the German commanders. Each incident serves as a case study on the brutal methods employed, where the submariners not only targeted military vessels but also subjected neutral ships and their crews to unwarranted danger and violence, emphasizing the moral degradation perceived in their actions.
