Solidly grounded in history, ONE ROGUE RAIDER chronicles the heroic deeds of both the EMDEN’s crew and those of her pursuers, while imagining their hopes and dreams. Along with the frustrations of Britain’s First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill. It brings to life what was perhaps the last instance of a conflict at sea where tonnage sunk and body counts did not trump human decency and honor.
A retired naval officer and Vietnam veteran, Larry Allen Lindsey did his undergraduate studies at Princeton and his master’s work at Kent State. During his military career he was stationed overseas in Spain, Okinawa, Guam, and Vietnam. Stateside he had tours of duty in Mississippi, Ohio, Virginia, and California. He has served on the worst riding ship in the Navy, a World War II LST (the same ship that landed his father at Normandy) and the best riding ship in that same Navy, a modern aircraft carrier. He was also attached to both the Seabees and the Marines. Larry currently resides in sunny San Diego, America’s finest city.
