5.0 out of 5 stars
A little-known chapter of the Great War,
By Blair Colquhoun (Saco, Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last Raider (Paperback)
What do you think of when you think of World War I? The great naval battles? Hardly! There were only two: The Battleof the Falklands in 1914 and the Battle of Jutland two years later. How about the U-boat war? We never think of this as being part of World War I but it was. This was the first war in which submarines were used. We usually associate U-boats with the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II. Raiders? No, NOT TOMB RAIDERS or RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK! I'm referring to commerce raiders. Again, we usually associate these with World War II. This was the first Douglas Reeman novel I ever read. I got it for Christmas in 1977 and read it in high school. I was surprised that there were commerce raiders in World War I. This is the story of the Vulkan's last voyage. The Vulkan set sail from Kiel in February 1918 and was on its last mission when World War I ended. Read the book to find out more. I'd love to tell you but then I'd have to knock you out.
