When the United States finds itself at war against the world, a daring young naval officer and the submarine Holland XI turn defeat into victory on the high seas.

Edward Stratemeyer's 1902 novel is a rousing juvenile military-adventure with a speculative edge. Fast, patriotic, of its era. Read it for a stirring boys' war-adventure from the founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate (creator of the Hardy Boys and Tom Swift), naval battles, submarines, and youthful heroism, in the brisk, exciting style that shaped a century of juvenile fiction.
