Description: The Kaiser's Pirates: German Surface Raiders in World War I by John Walter 1994"Graphically relates the story of the war against commerce carried out by the German surface raiders in 1914-17. In the period before submarine warfare became preeminent - and the wireless telegraph reduced a surface ship's ability to hide - the Imperial German navy employed a selection of men-of-war and merchantmen in an attempt to disrupt the maritime trade on which the British economy depended. Accompanied by a detailed alphabetical listing of the many victims, the book traces the exploits of the cruisers and the merchant-raiders, supported by first-hand testimony from victors and victims alike." Hardcover, 192 pages, illustrated; in very good condition, original price tag on cover.
