Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the true story of how the S.S. Hitachi Maru was captured by the German raider, Wolf, during the First World War. Following a dramatic naval battle, the author and his fellow passengers, including many women, were held captive for over five months on both the Wolf and the seized Hitachi Maru. The author provides unique first-hand accounts of the shellings, the harrowing transfer of passengers to lifeboats, and the psychological impact of living as prisoners aboard these ships. Throughout these trying circumstances, the author also describes the deep reserves of courage, camaraderie, and resilience displayed by the captives, who eventually faced the prospect of being sent to a notorious German internment camp. The book not only provides historical documentation of German naval tactics and the horrors of war but also offers insights into the human spirit's ability to survive in the face of danger and deprivation.
