Product Description
The German commerce raiders of World War I were a small but highly effective force that terrorized Allied shipping and disrupted trade routes. Operating far from their home bases, these raiders sank hundreds of merchant ships and warships, and caused widespread panic and disruption. The most famous of these raiders were the Emden, Moewe, and Wolf, which together sank over 300 ships.
This book tells the gripping story of these raiders, from their early successes to their eventual destruction. It is a tale of daring raids, narrow escapes, and tragic losses. It is also a story of the men who served on these ships, from the captains to the ordinary seamen. These men were brave, resourceful, and determined, and their stories deserve to be told.
This book is illustrated with rare photographs and maps, and it includes detailed appendices on the ships, their captains, and their victims. It is the definitive account of the German commerce raiders of World War I, and it is a must-read for anyone interested in naval history.
