Summary "The Victory At Sea" by William Sowden Sims and Burton Jesse Hendrick is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the American naval operations in European waters during World War I and focuses particularly on the submarine warfare that posed a significant threat to the Allies. It captures the strategic and tactical maneuvers employed by the American Navy to counter the German U-boat attacks while providing insights into the international naval collaboration between the United States and its allies. The opening of the book reveals the gravity of the situation in early 1917 as Rear-Admiral Sims receives orders to travel to England amid rising tensions due to impending war with Germany. Upon arrival, he learns the dire state of British naval operations, illustrating that German submarines were inflicting severe losses on Allied shipping, putting the safety of the British Empire at risk. The admiration and concern for British naval leadership’s challenges in combating the U-boat threat set the stage for the urgency of American involvement, which is underscored by the strategies discussed for countering submarine warfare, including the importance of secrecy, immediate action, and international cooperation.
