Prisoner of the U-90 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a gripping first-hand account of Lieutenant Isaacs' experience as the only American naval officer captured during World War I when his ship, the President Lincoln, was torpedoed by a German U-boat. The narrative follows Isaacs' perilous journey aboard the U-90, his brief imprisonment, and his eventual arrival at a prisoner-of-war camp. The author vividly recounts the horrors of war, with detailed descriptions of the submarine attack, the cramped and unsanitary conditions onboard, and the relentless interrogations by German intelligence officers. Amidst the harrowing events, Isaacs also finds moments of camaraderie and shared humanity among his fellow prisoners. Beyond its harrowing personal narrative, this book unveils the inner workings of German naval warfare during WWI. Isaacs' observations provide insights into the strategic decisions and operational challenges faced by the U-boat crews, as well as the broader political and ideological motivations that drove the conflict. Through its unflinching portrayal of the war's complexities and human toll, this book offers a valuable historical record and a profound meditation on the enduring themes of courage, resilience, and the limits of human endurance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332960026_0
