{"product_id":"9781476630403","title":"The Kaiser's Lost Kreuzer: A History of U-156 and Germany's Long-Range Submarine Campaign Against North America, 1918","description":"   In the final year of World War I, Germany made its first attempt to wage submarine warfare off faraway shores. 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.    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.","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Incorporated Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126118596848,"sku":"9781476630403","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476630403_p0.jpg?v=1763609330","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476630403","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
