The work offers a unique perspective on submarine warfare during World War I, following the experiences of Freiherrn von Forstner, the commander of one of Germany's first U-boats. The narrative presents the complex technicalities of operating a submarine while also delving into the psychological landscape of warfare, offering insights into the mindset of its protagonist. The opening of the book introduces the reader to von Forstner's naval career and his transition to commanding a submarine, providing context about the challenges faced by naval officers during this period. The commander reflects on the secrecy and novelty surrounding submarine warfare, recounting initial fears and excitement about this new technology. He describes the intricacies of life aboard a U-boat, detailing the technical aspects of underwater navigation, as well as the crew's living conditions. Notably, the text sets the stage for future chapters by emphasizing the dual nature of life in a submarine: a close-knit camaraderie contrasted with the lurking dangers of naval combat and the moral complexities of warfare.
