The Wolf: The True Story of an Epic Voyage of Destruction in WW1 by Peter Hohnen
In the years 1916-1918, the Wolf, an ordinary freighter fitted-out with a hidden arsenal of weapons, was sent by Germany on one of the most daring clandestine naval missions of modern times. This book is based on dozens of eyewitness accounts, unpublished memoirs, declassified government files, newspaper reports and family archives.
