An adequate small format book about the destruction of the first German Surface Raider. Maps and photos too small, but a good survey of the techniques of early WWII shipping control and defence is included. There is also a description of the first raid by the Deutschland and the Altmark Incident. In addition, there are also the appendices outlining the distribution of the Royal Navy, Le navire Francais and the Kriegsmarine, ships of light cruisers and above, as of the fall of 1939. Reread May 7th, 2018. It is still the same book. ( )
