Erskine Childers

The Riddle of the Sands

This literary masterwork, originally published in 1903, is known to many as one of the very first spy novels. Two young Englishmen cruise the waters of northern Germany in the early 1900's and end up playing a potentially deadly game of intrigue with an imperial government preparing for war. It will appeal to students of history and lovers of sea stories, mystery novels, or espionage thrillers. There's a romantic angle, as well. This book caused a sensation when first published, and actually had an impact on the military thinking of the time.
