"This book is about the eleven-month odyssey of German midshipman Erich Killinger who was captured by Russia at the start of World War I. Killinger escaped the Russian POW train in Siberia, fled to China, and passed through a series of German consulates and safe houses to Shanghai. Given fake identity papers, Killinger traveled in style by ship and rail from Shanghai to Skien, Norway, via the United States. He crossed the Atlantic as a deck hand and ultimately reached Skein, Norway safely. He arrived back in Germany on 6 March 1916--eleven months after being captured."--Provided by publisher.
