M cke was the executive officer and first lieutenant on the light cruiser SMS Emden. The Emden raided commercial shipping from her base at Tsingtao, China, into the Indian Ocean. After a four month raiding spree she was finally discovered and destroyed by the Australian Navy light cruiser Sydney. Prior to the arrival of the Sydney, von M cke, commanding a 53 man landing party had gone ashore on Direction Island in the Cocos group to disable a wireless station and from there witnessed his ship's demise. Upon realising his small command was cut adrift, von M cke seized the schooner Ayesha and began an epic 11,000 km journey of escape across sea and land. M cke's writings are essential reading for anyone interested in the Imperial German Navy and true stories of high adventure at sea.\u003cbr\u003e Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 19, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47468640665853,"sku":"9780857068439","price":31.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/RzZ0eC9zQnF2Y3pyeW1IMTJOendpUT09.webp?v=1777290718","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/the-kaisers-raider-two-accounts-of-the-s-m-s-emden-during-the-first-world-war-by-one-of-its-officers-the-emden-the-ayesha-being-the-advent-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
