The Battle of the U-Boats explores the battle for naval supremacy. For centuries, the Royal British Navy had battled in southern waters, against her traditional enemies, France and Spain. But, in the first years of the twentieth century, that all changed. The new threat was to the northeast, as Germany built a formidable new navy.
As an arms race began, this engrossing two-parter is told from the perspective of both sides: how Britain maintained her economic blockade of Germany; how the German U-boats took Britain to the brink of surrender; and, in 1917, how German U-boat warfare brought the USA into the war. From the pioneering sailors who plumbed the depths in the first kerosene-fuelled submarines to the advent of the dreadnoughts, World War 1 at Sea offers a unique perspective on the events and experiences that would help decide the outcome of World War One.
The Battle of the U-Boats is the second part of the thought provoking BBC history series World War One at Sea which looks at the dynamic naval battle between two world powers.

This is a compelling account of the brutalities of 21st century war, told through the eyes of independent journalists. The film documents the lives of reporters and photographers who subverted military media control to get access to the real Iraq War. As the invading armies sweep into the south of the country, some of the journalists in Kuwait decide to risk their lives to travel in their wake, hungry to see the true impact of war on civilians. The film records their frustration, fear, shock and horror as they fight their way to Baghdad. They are the lucky ones. Ahead of them some journalists are killed in the conflict. Behind them others become part of a media circus trapped in Kuwait. The authorities try to placate them with organized day trips which end in farce, frustration, and cynicism.Through its main and its subsidiary characters, the film reveals the addictive nature of modern war reporting - how it affects journalists personally and how hard it then is to return to a normal life back home.It also paints a unique picture of the paradoxes of modern war reporting: the organized media circus may offer a continuous stream of action pictures for 24 hour satellite tv, but these tell us little about the chaos and the pain of war. War Feels Like War is a unique tribute to those courageous men and women who wanted to know the truth. High School College Adult
