Atlantis, one of Germany's most successful World War II raiders, boasted the concealed firepower of a light cruiser yet had no armor, relying on her beguiling appearance to surprise the enemy. During her two-year cruise behind Allied lines, she captured or sank twenty-two merchant ships, broke enemy codes, and got hold of valuable intelligence material from the British, including plans for the defense of Singapore. Using the ship's log, crew interviews, and extensive research materials, the author reveals the true story behind this mystery ship that rarely flew her own flag and never wore her own name." "Joseph P. Slavick draws on previously unavailable data to recount Atlantis's 655-day saga, from outfitting and crew selection to mine laying and attacks on Allied ships that resulted in the loss of more than 145,000 tons of goods. He attributes her success, in part, to her captain's mastery of naval stealth and evasion. The author also provides information on the Allied intelligence agencies' responses to the raider threat and their subsequent actions to eliminate it. Details of Atlantis's eventual destruction and the rescue of her crew by a small fleet of German and Italian submarines add further drama to the story." As a chronicle of an often misunderstood kind of strategic and economic warfare, this book stands as a tribute to the dedication, tenacity, resourcefulness, and chivalry of the innovative Bernhard Rogge and his hand-picked crew. Such a story will appeal not only to readers who like military history, but also to those who enjoy real-life adventure stories and the lore of the sea.
