Count Felix von Luckner in New Zealand and the South Pacific 1917-1919 and 1938
When Felix von Luckner arrived in New Zealand in 1917 as a prisoner of war, anti-German sentiment was rife. Yet his gentlemanly conduct towards crews captured in his raiding activities, along with his audacious escape from Motuihe Island, made him a folk hero, and he was certainly treated as one by many New Zealanders on his return in 1938. A number of controversies surround him and his activities, however. Archival documents have now become available in both Germany and New Zealand which clarify various matters that have remained unresolved for many years.

Zusammenfassung

"The subject matter is very interesting, even gripping, and is presented with a lucidity that makes it a highly readable as well as erudite work." (Dr. Margaret Sutherland, Victoria University of Wellington)
