Title: A little-known chapter of the Great War
Review: 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 yearslater. 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 inwhich 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 firstDouglas Reeman novel I ever read. I got it for Christmas in1977 and read it in high school. I was surprised that therewere 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 WarI ended. Read the book to find out more. I'd love to tell youbut then I'd have to knock you out.
