Author: Sir Stephen King-Hall   / Year: 1893-1966  / Genre: Miltary-war

The infamous U boats deployed by Germany in the two World Wars have spawned several works of fiction
 and non-fiction. These deadly vessels were not just efficient and lethal killing machines, but they were also
 used very effectively in economic blockades. They were positioned primarily to obstruct the conveyance of
 fuel, food and other essential supplies which the enemy needed to sustain the war effort.

In the Diary of a U Boat Commander, the author, Stephen King-Hall draws upon his vast personal experiences
 as a naval officer in World War I. Writing under the name of the fictitious narrator, Etienne, King-Hall presents
 the events in the story in the form of a diary that has been discovered aboard a captured German U boat.
