A detailed history of the submarine, from the first man-powered submersibles to the deadly scourge of the First World War.

Résumé
Sea Devils is a compelling account of pioneer submariners and their astonishing underwater contraptions. It won eventual acceptance amidst the chaos and carnage of the First World War, in which pathfinder submariners achieved an extraordinarily high tally of five Victoria Crosses, Britain's highest military decoration.
