Presumed First Edition, First printing. vii, [3], 363, [1] and 10 pages [including pages reprinted from Lowell Thomas's Count Luckner]. Cover is worn, soiled, and has a tear and loss of material at lower spine. Some board weakness. Some page discoloration. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads For Louis MacBracken---Yours until we all go down to Davy Jones. Lowell Thomas. Lowell Jackson Thomas (April 6, 1892 - August 29, 1981) was an American writer, actor, broadcaster, and traveler, best remembered for publicizing T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia). He was also involved in promoting the Cinerama widescreen system. In 1954, he led a group of New York City-based investors to buy majority control of Hudson Valley Broadcasting, which, in 1957, became Capital Cities Television Corporation. Thomas was a relentless self-promoter, and he persuaded railroads to give him free passage in exchange for articles extolling rail travel. When he visited Alaska, he hit upon the idea of the travelogue, movies about faraway places. When the United States entered World War I, President Wilson sent him and others to "compile a history of the conflict", but the mission was not academic. The war was not popular in the United States, and Thomas was sent to find material that would encourage the American people to support it. He did not want to merely write about the war, he wanted to film it. Thomas narrated Twentieth Century Fox's Movietone newsreels until 1952, when he teamed with Mike Todd and Merian C. Cooper to exploit Cinerama, a film format using three projectors and an enormous curved screen with surround sound. From a review posted on line: Mr. Thomas tells the story of the WWI German U-boats from the German point of view. After the war he went to Germany and interviewed the survivors. Usually the victors tell the story from their point of view, this book, written by the famous radio personality and writer, was published in 1928 after extensive interviews with the captains and officers of the German Navy who participated. He even interviewed crew members of the U-boat that sank the Lusitania. Anyone interested in the history of WWI or submarines will be unable to put this well documented story down.
