This book was originally published in 1957. During the First World War, German use of unrestricted submarine warfare, supported by extensive mining and surface raids, very nearly forced Britain out of the war in 1917. The island’s heavy dependence on seaborne supplies was gravely threatened again in 1939, supplemented this time by air attacks on shipping. After the war, Commanders Waters and Barley wrote a Naval Staff History which has long been recognised as an authoritative study of the impact of the German campaign and its ultimate defeat by Britain and her allies. It remains an indispensable basis for any serious study of the Battle of the Atlantic and has here been updated and revised by Dr Grove, who also contributes a perceptive introduction outlining its significance.

I slapped him on the face when he was raping me. “Why me?” I asked him with the blood falling down the corner of my mouth. He bit my lips as I shouted for help. “Do not hurt my sister again. Leave the man who doesn’t love you.” I had a boyfriend, and this man’s sister had the same affection towards him. To help his sister, he chose to warn me in such an evil way. I couldn’t lose my lover because he was the only light in my world. But I couldn’t shut this light with my darkness. On a rainy day, I asked for a breakup with him. I didn’t deserve him. He should marry a perfect girl, an intact girl. What tortured me more was that after our breakup, he married that demon’s sister, who was the beginning of my nightmare. I must leave, but every time I ran away, I was chased by the man who forcefully mated me, “You can never leave my control”, he whispered by my side.
