Author Description

1927. This book lends a biographical account of the life of Count Luckner, the Sea Devil, the man who commanded the raider Seeadler. The Seeadler was a sailing ship that had broken through the British blockade and played havoc with Allied shipping in the Atlantic and Pacific during the latter part of the war. Luckner looked the part of a Sea Devil; he was a tall, massive man with huge shoulders and a voice that boomed like a foghorn.
