520 _a"War in the Underseas" by Harold Wheeler is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the impact of submarine warfare during World War I, particularly focusing on its strategic significance and the experiences of naval personnel. It highlights the transition of submarines from perceived weak vessels to formidable instruments of warfare, emphasizing the role they played in shifting naval tactics during the conflict. The opening of the book sets the stage for this exploration by discussing the evolution and effectiveness of submarines in warfare. Wheeler introduces the concept of surprise as the core principle of submarine strategy and delves into the early skepticism surrounding undersea craft. He mentions pivotal moments and early designs of submarines, emphasizing the German use of U-boats in unrestricted warfare. The text also reflects on anecdotal experiences of British submariners and their operations, hinting at the trials and tribulations faced by those serving beneath the waves, thus preparing the reader for a detailed narrative of underwater conflict in subsequent chapters.
