Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Only today's atomic submarines have outstripped the fabulous twinfunneled K boatsthe biggest, fastest submarines of World War I. But no other class of warship suffered so much calamity and controversy. Authorized by Churchill, these steampowered submarines were the bestconcealed debacle in British naval history. Their crews called themselves the suicide club and in this authoritative documentary their story is vividly reconstructed.Built secretly to meet a threat that existed only in the minds of the flag officers, the socalled 'submersible destroyers' suffered an unprecedented series of accidents from the day they began their trials. Six sank with an appalling death toll. The fortyseven men of K 13 were luckier. They were rescued after fiftyseven hours trapped underwater. During the Battle of May Island when British ships carved through their own K flotillas one night, two K boats sank, two were crippled, and a cruiser lost her bows. Then there was the mysterious disappearance of K 5 in the Atlantic. All told, not one K boat escaped. The product of two years' research, this fascinating book looks for answers to what went wrong during the series of dreadful mishaps described.
