About this title

Synopsis

Two classics of war at sea

The author of this book, von M�cke wrote two accounts of his naval experiences in the Imperial German Navy during the First World War and both are brought together in this special Leonaur edition. M�cke was the executive officer and first lieutenant on the light cruiser SMS Emden. The Emden raided commercial shipping from her base at Tsingtao, China, into the Indian Ocean. After a four month raiding spree she was finally discovered and destroyed by the Australian Navy light cruiser Sydney. Prior to the arrival of the Sydney, von M�cke, commanding a 53 man landing party had gone ashore on Direction Island in the Cocos group to disable a wireless station and from there witnessed his ship's demise. Upon realising his small command was cut adrift, von M�cke seized the schooner Ayesha and began an epic 11,000 km journey of escape across sea and land. M�cke's writings are essential reading for anyone interested in the Imperial German Navy and true stories of high adventure at sea.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
