Canadian-born William Snowden Sims (1858 - 1936), following this World War, with the rank of Rear Admiral, wrote this book between 1919 - 1920, during his assignment as President, Naval War College (1919 - 1922). In 1921, Admiral Sims won the "Pulitzer Prize for History of United States" for his work on "The Victory at Sea", in collaboration with Burton J. Hendrick.
