The Wolf: The Mystery Raider That Terrorized the Seas During World War I

On November 30, 1916, an apparently ordinary freighter left harbor in Kiel, Germany, destined not to touch land again for fifteen months. In this gripping account of an audacious and lethal World War I expedition, Richard Guilliatt and Peter Hohnen detail the 64,000-mile voyage of the Wolf, a German naval raider sent on a suicide mission to terrorize distant Allied ports by laying minefields and sinking freighters. To maintain secrecy, the Wolf could never pull into port or use her radio, and to comply with the rules of sea warfare, her captain fastidiously tried to avoid killing civilians aboard the merchant ships he attacked.
