    Attack On Orleans by Jake Klim is a fascinating true story.
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 22, 2014*

This book is a fascinating and well-researched account of the only attack on the U.S. shores during the last year of World War I. On a quiet and muggy Sunday morning, the tug Perth Amboy was headed south along Cape Cod, towing four barges. Vacationers relaxed on the beach and the porches of the cottages. Around 10:30am, the quiet calm was shattered by the thunderous roar of shells as the German sub U-156 opened fire on the tug. The submarine had already destroyed American and Allied vessels, including the USS San Diego off the coast of Long Island, killing a number of sailors. Although the Perth Amboy and her barges were of no particular value to the war effort, the captain of the U-156 had decided they were fine targets. Two of the tug's crew were seriously injured. The sub then began firing on the barges, as the people on board frantically scrambled into their lifeboats to escape. At the nearby Orleans Coast Guard Station, the life-savers headed out to the rescue in their surfboat. Author Jake Klim tells us the entire story from the points of view of many of the folks who were a part of this historic moment. He takes us from the beach and the cottages, to being on board the vessels and even up into the lookout tower at the Coast Guard Station. His research is amazingly thorough and his narrative compelling and smooth. There are lots of photos as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of the United States, World War I, maritime history or the history of the U.S. Life-Saving Service and the U.S. Coast Guard. Even if you are not a history buff, you will still enjoy this exciting true story!

Having just visited Eastham on vacation, studying military history for decades- this work really fascinated me. Hoping to make it back to the area in the future if the 3 barges are still dive worthy.Highly recommend for anyone interested in the true account of U-156 and the attack on Orleans, MA.
