Description: This is the story of the Australian submarine AE2 and its loss in the sadly-mismanaged Dardenelles operations of the First World War, written after that war by its Commander. The book ties in with other historical source material concerning the operations and loss of the submarine, and is well worth a read both by students of WW1 and general readers. Illustrated by black and white photographs.
