Review
This meticulously researched, carefully documented and lively biography examines German WWI submarine operations through the eyes of Hans Rose ...not only conveying a visceral sense of life aboard a wartime submarine, but showing the evolution of submarine warfare. Later chapters provide a window into the dilemmas confronting professional German military officers as their nation spiralled into the abyss of Nazism. The authors present a balanced and complete portrait of this complex individual. (Donald Chisholm, US Naval War College)
It is not often that we are offered insight into the thoughts and feelings of a German officer after WWII. This biography peers into Rose s mind to show what it means to be the enemy in an occupied country. A truly spellbinding read. --Tore Pettersen, Norwegian Civil Defence Officer Rtd
The description almost had me tasting salt water and smelling the burning oil vivid and detailed writing that took someone who has served on the seas back to what must have been horrendous times. --Alan Walker, RN Antisubmarine Service Rtd
The authors have compiled a remarkably detailed portrait of Hans Rose s life and character, which is outstanding for the quality of its research and presentation of its results. --Peter Monte, Captain German Navy Rtd
