The Battle Of Penang : World War One in the Far East

Robertson, J. R. (John Richard)2014
Books
From civil war-torn China to the Singapore Mutiny, J.R. Robertson traces the dramatic events at the beginning of World War One, as the imperial forces of the UK, France, Russia and Japan expelled the German navy from their colonial possessions in the Far East and Pacific. It follows the desperate rear-guard action fought by the German cruiser Emden, sinking a score of Allied merchant ships over several weeks around the Bay of Bengal and culminating in the Battle of Penang. The author throws new light on the debacle amongst the allied warships in Penang.
