The Kaiser's Merchant Ships in World War I
ISBN: 9780786409235 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

There were those ships that went to war for the Kaiser on the high seas, those that stayed at home or otherwise played no significant part in the conflict, and those which were commandeered (mostly in 1917 and by the United States) and used against Germany. This is a well illustrated history, both practical and romantic, of the association each ship may have had with famous people and events of the war, and of the fates of the ships...
