Believed to have been printed around 1919. This work was described in the Preface as a 'framework, a statement of principles, supported by examples from modern war, showing the use of submarines in naval operations, and the changes produced by their evolution in the old theory of "Sea Power, " the application of naval strategy and tactics, and the national life of maritime nations. The thesis advanced, which was based on three great naval wars, the American Civil War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the Great European War of 1914 to 1919, in which the submarine, the mine, and the torpedo have played an ever increasing part, embodies the lessons--vital to sea empires--adduced from careful study. The author gained experience during three years in command of anti-submarine craft and while on the staff of H. M. School of Submarine Mining. Condition: Fair. No dust jacket as issued. Cover has wear, soiling, and some stains. Edges rubbed, especially at corner. Some pages opened roughly. Bookplated of Frederick C. Freed.
