Large, long-range U-boats (short for \u003ci\u003eunterseeboot\u003c\/i\u003e or \"undersea boat\") attacked Allied shipping off the coasts of the U.S., Canada and West Africa in a desperate campaign to sidestep and scatter the lethal U-boat defenses in European waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Commissioned in 1917, \u003ci\u003eU-156\u003c\/i\u003e raided commerce, transported captured cargo and terrorized coastal populations from Madeira to Cape Cod. In July 1918, the \u003ci\u003eUSS San Diego\u003c\/i\u003e was sunk as it headed into New York Harbor--the opening salvo in a month-long series of audacious attacks by \u003ci\u003eU-156\u003c\/i\u003e along the North American coast. The author chronicles the campaign from the perspective of Imperial Germany for the first time in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul N.
