ACKNOWLEDGMENTS For many people in my generation, World War II was a major event. It certainly was such for me. My interest in that war and the cultural context in which it took place drew my attention to a few related research topics—the Masada myth, treason, assassinations, remembrances, and war movies. As happened for so many others, submarines caught my imagination and attention. I found fascinating the idea and practice of a few dozen sailors getting locked—willingly—in a steel tube and diving in that contraption into a water's depths. Those familiar with the history of World Wars I and II know that naval battles were of major importance in both wars. There are even those who claim that the main battles in World War II were naval and that, in fact, that war itself needs to be thought of as a naval war. Submarines played a major role in both these wars (as well as in the Cold War). The number of books and movies focused on submarine warfare in these two world wars is very large indeed. I cannot confess that I have read or seen them all, but I have definitely seen most, if not all, submarine movies made in the United States and the United Kingdom. Also, I visited quite a few museums where submarines are displayed (e.g., at Gosport). While interested in the topic, I was not initially clear about what angle I wanted to take regarding an interpretation of the awesome and ruthless warfare submarines were involved in during the two world wars. Some questions that made me curious (but that did not result in any research) were, why were people willing to serve in these contraptions, and even more puzzling, why were they willing to serve when, for example, joining the silent service in some navies was not too far from committing suicide? As I was drifting in my deliberations, an angle that is both interesting and relevant occurred to me.
