Königsberg” by Richard Wenig recounts the German light cruiser’s 1914–1915 raiding campaign in East African waters, its dramatic refuge up the Rufiji River, and the protracted British hunt that ended with the ship’s destruction. The book highlights the crew’s improvisation, the conversion of the cruiser’s guns for land warfare, and the vessel’s symbolic role in Germany’s East African theater under extreme logistical hardship. ISBN 9783941555341 In very good condition.
