The Sea Devil Book Description
Swashbuckling adventure and cases of champagne: this classic war story is far removed from life in the WWI trenches. Tasked with destroying as many British merchant ships as possible, German aristocrat Felix von Luckner and his ship the Seeadler (Sea Eagle) succeeded in spectacular fashion, taking fourteen vessels with the loss of only one life, in between hosting lavish parties for their prisoners and evading the British Admiralty in a daring game of cat and mouse.
