Although nonfiction, this rousing firsthand account of wartime adventures reads like a novel and has proven appeal to a broad audience. Translated into English and serialized in the Naval Institute Proceedings in 1916, the book was written by the executive officer of the Emden, the legendary German raider of World War I South Seas fame. He devotes the first half of his story to a lively narrative description of the light cruiser's sinking of fifteen merchant ships and two allied warships by November 1914. The second half describes an incredible seven-month odyssey forced upon von Mucke and fifty of his men when their ship was destroyed by the HMAS Sydney. Stranded on an island in the Indian Ocean where they were sent to destroy a British wireless facility, they commandeer a small schooner, the Ayesha, and embark on a journey reminiscent of that undertaken by Captain Bligh and company. After surviving fierce storms in the ocean, an allied blockade in the Red Sea, and a Bedouin ambush in Arabia, the men finally arrive in Constantinople in May 1915 with their courage and unflappable manners intact. Armchair adventurers and combat veterans alike will appreciate von Mucke's rousing tale, which is introduced by a history professor at Walla Walla College in Washington who writes frequently about the Kaiser's navy.

The crew of the World War I German surface raider Emden had one of the greatest adventures in naval history. The outbreak of war found the Emden off the coast of British India. Under the command of Captain Karl von Muller, the Emden for three months seriously impeded British operations in the Indian Ocean. The Emden sank two warships and sixteen merchantmen, captured four colliers, shelled the harbor at Madras and raided Penang. In the end seventy-eight British ships were required to run her down. Even being captured left the gallant crew undaunted. Fifty crew members hijacked a schooner and sailed to the coast of Turkish-controlled Arabia. The crew fought its way through Lawrence's tribesmen to the Turkish railway at Jiddah and thence to Constantinople, where they reported for duty to the German naval attache, having conducted one of the most extraordinary operations of the war.

The true story of the most extraordinary and little-known escapades of a German light cruiser called into the thick of battle during World War I.

Based on German, French, and English sources, this World War I saga of the German cruiser Emden provides a colorful portrait of a lost era of naval warfare and a lasting tribute to a legendary merchant raider. Though dauntless in pursuit of enemy ships, the Emden treated captured crews with great courtesy and is remembered today as the last man-of-war that adhered to a chivalric code of conduct. The bold and gallant raids against Allied merchant ships in the Indian Ocean earned the Emden the admiration of friend and foe alike. In a single raid it sank a Russian cruiser and destroyed a French torpedo boat and all told is credited with capturing or sinking nineteen merchant ships. Emden cleverly eluded Allied warships until its spectacular career was cut short in 1914 during a fierce engagement with an Australian cruiser off the Cocos Islands. Even the British lamented Emden's demise with a popular newspaper praising the captain as a courageous and resourceful man and predicting the ship to live on in history. This account of the ship's high-seas adventures will fascinate readers of all ages.

The warships of the World War II era German Navy are among the most popular subjects in naval history with many books devoted to the subject. However, for a concise but authoritative summary of the design history and careers of the major surface ships, it is difficult to beat the six volumes in the Warships of the Kriegsmarine series. Now in paperback for the first time, this sixth volume in the series is devoted to the six ships from Emden to Nuremberg that were built between the wars. Primarily intended for commerce-raiding, the war gave them few opportunities for such employment, although they did provide useful support for key naval operations in the Baltic and North Sea.

At the end of the First World War more than 192,000 wives had lost their husbands, and nearly 400,000 children had lost their fathers. A further half a million children had lost one or more siblings. Appallingly, one in eight wives died within a year of receiving news of their husband's death. Few people remained unscathed and the effects of the conflict are still with us. The Quick and the Dead will pay tribute to the families who were left to suffer at home while their husband, fathers and sons went off to fight, and the generations that followed. Through the stories in this groundbreaking history, we realise not just what became of our grandfathers but how their experiences influenced the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of a generation that they left at home. Against all the odds some stories ended happily - missing fathers did return, men thought to be dead returned from prisoner of war camps to a joyous reunion. For others the loss, while difficult to bear at the time, gave them an independence, drive and ambition that ensured that their lives were successful and a fitting tribute to those who died. Very few people know that only the first minute's silence on Armistice Day is in memory of the dead of the Great War and all the subsequent wars. The second minute is for the living, the survivors of the war, and the wives and the children they left behind. Through a unique collection of over fifty interviews, private diaries and a remarkable collection of unpublished letters written by the soldiers to their families back home, The Quick and the Dead is a history of those who are commonly forgotten and neglected when the fallen are remembered on Armistice Day.

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer, language: English, abstract: In times of globalisation, engineering progress and extremely aggressive competition as well as continuous growth of dynamic and complexity within business, strategic changes are crucial for organizational surviving.

Benetton is an Italian producer of high quality design clothing, which is active since the early 1960s. The company started as a family business and until today, the family of Benetton has the control over the firm.

In the 1980s, the Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani started to work for the Benet-ton Group as the designer for the marketing campaigns. Within several years, the advertise-ments of Benetton were not only about cloths, as the fight against racism and discrimination became almost more important than the clothing itself.

Passchendaele is the next volume in the highly regarded series of books from the best-selling First World War historian Richard van Emden. Once again, using the winning formula of diaries and memoirs, and above all original photographs taken on illegally held cameras by the soldiers themselves, Richard tells the story of 1917, of life both in and out of the line culminating in perhaps the most dreaded battle of them all, the Battle of Passchendaele.

This book will be published in June 2017, in time for the 100th anniversary of the epic Battle of Passchendaele which began on 31st July 1917 Richard van Emden’s books sold over 650,000 books and have appeared in The Times’ bestseller chart on a number of occasions.
