The exploits of the German battle cruiser Goeben at the outbreak of World War I changed the early course of the war and had a decisive impact on subsequent world history. Virtually alone in the Mediterranean, the Goeben eluded the French and British fleets and joined with Turkish forces, influencing Turkey to enter the war on Germany's side. Ludendorff estimated that this prolonged World War I by two years.

Hodder & Stoughton General Division

An authoritative study of the crucial struggle to control the supply routes across the Atlantic during the Second World War. The first comprehensive reappraisal to be written in English for over a decade, it examines not only the action on and under the sea from the Arctic to the Cape, but also the politicking ashore. Dan van der Vat, formerly "The Times" correspondent in Bonn, is the chief foreign leader writer on "The Guardian". His three previous books, all on First World War naval history, are "The Grand Scuttle" (winner of the "Yorkshire Post" new author award in 1982), "The Ship That Changed The World" and "The Last Corsair" (winner of the King George's Fund for Sailors' best book of the year award for 1983).

The euphoric reunification of Germany is turning into an abysmal economic and social disaster for the former German Deomcratic Republic. Unemployment of 50 per cent is forecast. So is unrest, as the federal government in Bonn struggles with a spiralling crisis which is wildly underestimated. Carpetbaggers roam the land, property claims prevent redevelopment, cities are going broke and millions, recently so glad to swap Karl Marx for Deutschmarks, struggle to make ends meet in a land laid waste by pollution. The author of this book was in Berlin on Unification Day. Unfazed by a Third World telephone system and the Prussian roulette method of booking hotels, he visited east Berlin and every major region and city of the ex-GDR, from the Baltic to "Saxon Switzerland", from Weimar to Buchenwald. This resulting book is a travelogue that also includes a social, economic and political commentary, told via interviews and laced with observations of the Germans their history, customs and language. The author was the Bonn Correspondent for "The Times" newspaper for six years and is the chief leader write for "The Guardian". His books include "The Grand Scuttle", "The Last Corsair" and "The Atlantic Campaign".
