Summary "Submarine and Anti-submarine" by Henry Newbolt is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the complex and significant role of submarines in naval warfare during World War I, highlighting both the submarines' operational aspects and the broader implications of their use in warfare. Newbolt explores themes of national character, the evolution of submarine technology, and the moral contrasts between different nations' approaches to combat. The opening of the book sets the stage for a deep exploration of submarine warfare, outlining the necessity of understanding the "spirit" behind national military actions. Newbolt emphasizes that to fully comprehend the significance of submarine operations, one must grasp the unique characteristics and historical context of the nations involved. He asserts that the submarine campaign is not merely a series of tactical maneuvers but a crucial determinant of the war's outcome, reflecting deeper ideological battles between civilization and barbarism. By establishing an emotional and moral framework for the narrative, he prepares the reader for an in-depth discussion of submarine technology, its development, and its implications for international law and humanity during the conflict.
