Bryan Perrett does a great job reminding us just how important it was for the Royal Navy to seek and destroy a number of German surface ships on the loose in the first two years of the war in his very entertaining book.
This book delivers as much tragedy as it does action and derring-do, for with every victorious sinking there has to be a loser with loss of life and the author is not slow to sympathise with either side under the circumstances. In many cases we read of immense chivalry from the German captains of cruisers and armed merchantmen who showed great decency towards prisoners and they deserve immense credit for their humanity.
The accompanying photographs are many and excellent and the way the chapters are set out allows you to dip in and out at leisure.
…the overall quality of this book is absolutely first rate.
This is the incredible tail of the battle between two armed merchant cruisers, the British Carmania and the German Cap Trafalgar. Imagine the scene where the British ship came up on the German vessel which had been disguised to look like it! The rest, as they say, is history. Bryan Perrett tells it well. Find out what happens, you know it makes sense.

Perrett’s superbly detailed book covers all the major actions including the escape of the Goesben and Breslau to Turkey, where they became units of the Turkish Navy serving in the Black and Aegean Seas.
The Hunters and the Hunted is a breathtaking story of daring and adventure, with examples of heroics, chivalry and some foul deeds from both sides. Perrett sheds new light on a forgotten chapter of the Great War and reminds us again of just how vast and all-encompassing was this terrible conflict.

At the outbreak of the First World War the Imperial German Navy had a considerable number of surface warships deployed around the world. These ships posed a serious threat to British merchant vessels, particularly the import of food and duel supplies so it was decided to hunt down and destroy the German warships before they could wreak havok. The book provides a fascinating narrative, looking as it does how the German Navy conducted this type of war and the role of the Royal Navy in the destruction of the German naval vessels.

At the start of the First World War the Imperial German Navy had a number of surface warships deployed around the globe. These obviously posed a serious threat to Allied shipping and every effort was made by the Royal Navy to track down these vessels and bring them to battle. Amongst these was the light cruiser Kalsruhe which began attacking ships in the Caribbean almost as soon as war had been declared. In the course of just two months she captured and sank no less than sixteen British merchant ships, with a combined weight of 72,216 tons.
Amongst the other actions in this book at the Battle of the Falkland Island, the Battle of Coronel and the actions on lake Tanganyika.
