"The Victory at Sea" was written by the U.S. naval commander of all U.S. forces in European waters, who was stationed in London to command all U.S. naval operations. 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. It should be noted that Burton would later win his "Pulitzer Prize for Biography" in his own work on "The Life and Letters of Walter H. Page" (1923).
