  In October 1917, an invasion force of some 25,000 German soldiers, accompanied by a flotilla of 10 dreadnoughts, 350 other vessels, a half-dozen zeppelins, and 80 aircraft, attacked the Baltic islands at the head of the Gulf of Riga. This work presents an account of a little-known but dramatic World War I battle for control of the Baltic Islands.
