126pp, with plentiful black and white illustrations in text.  Grey cloth-covered boards gilt titles to spine.  4to.  Volume is neat, clean, bright and tight throughout.  In its original glossy dust wrapper, a little shelf worn with a previous pricing label on the upper panel, slightly bumped on extreme edges. A lively account of the German Dresden-class battle cruiser Emden during the first few months of the First World War during which she and her crew sunk 16 British ships in sometimes daring attacks, before being outclassed by an Australian vessel off Direction Island.
