Description

New Year 1915 marked the beginning of a pivotal moment in history, as Winston Churchill's bold plan to seize Constantinople and knock Turkey out of the war took shape. The key to this ambitious strategy lay in the Dardanelles, and it was here that the British submarine E14 embarked on a perilous journey. The crew had faced numerous challenges, including the treacherous waters and the wreckage of previous submarines that had attempted to pass through. Despite these obstacles, they had set out on a voyage that would take them past the Ottoman Empire, with the commander, Courtney Boyle, having expressed doubts about the mission's feasibility. This book tells the story of the pioneering submarines of the Dardanelles, shedding light on the events that unfolded during this pivotal moment in history.
