The Story of Our Submarines

"The Story of Our Submarines" by John Graham Bower is a historical record from the early 1900s that looks at how British submarines grew and were used during World War I. The book explains the submarines' new technologies and how they were important in war strategy, along with stories about the people who worked on them. The book begins by highlighting how British submarines were key to the war effort, unlike the better-known German U-boats, and explains what it was like to join, train, and work as a submarine sailor, pointing out the strong bonds between crew members and the dangers they faced. It also talks about the technical details and changing designs of the submarines as the war went on, leading into accounts of different missions and battles.
