000857325 520__ $$a"At the heart of this thrilling narrative lurks danger and power, as acclaimed naval writer Iain Ballantyne reveals some of warfare's murkiest secrets. The cast of colorful characters includes an American who devised plunging boats to attack the British, who then switched sides and tried to help the Royal Navy defeat Napoleon; a former monk who created submersible boats to assist the cause of Irish liberation; and a spy who, during the American Civil War, hid Confederate submarine secrets in her bonnet. The reader is plunged into the epic convoy battles of the twentieth century's two world wars, when hopes of victory were placed on the shoulders of daring young submarine captains, many of whom perished along with the men they commanded. We learn of efforts by the British to seize Enigma material from U-boats, how Germany's so-called Grey Wolves were not always brave or invincible, and the role of American submarines in bringing Japan to its knees. With skill and verve, Iain Ballantyne expertly narrates attacks by Royal Navy X-craft on Tirpitz; Nazi plans to bombard New York with primitive cruise missiles; and episodes when the Cold War era turned hot--not least the sinking of the Belgrano. This definitive history concludes with a look at the resurgence of submarines as political and military tools and the threat of nuclear annihilation they pose."--Jacket.
