Atlantis, one of Germany's most successful World War II Raiders, boasted the concealed firepower of a light cruiser yet had no armor, relying on her beguiling appearance to surprise the enemy. During her two-year cruise behind Allied lines, she captured or sank twenty-two merchant ships, broke enemy codes, and got hold of valuable intelligence material from the British, including plans for the defense of Singapore. Using the ship's log, crew interviews, and extensive research materials, the author reveals the true story behind this mystery ship that rarely flew her own flag and never wore her own name. -- From the book jacket.
