Beneath the surface, navies quietly reshaped the future of war. War was reborn beneath waves. Written by Lieut.-Col. and Brevet-Col. Cyril Field, a professional officer with a historian's eye, The Story of the Submarine traces the history of submarines from legendary schemes and early underwater navigation to the experimental craft of the nineteenth century and the early 20th century submarines entering frontline service. Field blends clear explanation of evolving maritime technology history with vivid accounts of shifting tactics, showing how the age of sail and the age of steam navies wrestled with the origins of submarine warfare and the challenges of fighting where no horizon can be seen. At once a classic naval history book and accessible military history nonfiction, it speaks both to specialists and curious readers new to the subject. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Essential reading for naval history buffs, for readers of Mahan, and anyone fascinated by nineteenth century naval warfare, early 20th century strategy, or the hidden story of undersea invention, this handsome heritage volume also makes an ideal gift for military enthusiasts and collectors of maritime lore who want to own a cornerstone work in the history of submarines.
