I really do like this book. I do believe it to be it one of Douglas Reeman finer moments. I can really feel the bleakness and desperation of the German people/military in this book. I do not think that anyone could highlight the awful futility of war, yet the necessity of duty any finer. A very fine read!!

A little-known chapter of the Great War
3 May 2002
Format:Paperback
What do you think of when you think of World War I? The great naval battles? Hardly! There were only two: The Battle
of 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.
