The Murder of Captain Fryatt is a historical non-fiction book written by Algernon Charles in 1916. The book tells the story of the brutal execution of Captain Charles Fryatt, a British merchant navy officer, during World War I. Captain Fryatt was captured by the Germans in 1915 after his ship, the SS Brussels, attempted to ram a German U-boat. He was subsequently charged with being a franc-tireur (an irregular combatant) and was sentenced to death by a German military court. The book describes the events leading up to Fryatt's execution, the international outrage that followed, and the impact of his death on the war effort. It also explores the political and military implications of the incident, including the impact on British morale and the German decision to use unrestricted submarine warfare. The book is a fascinating historical account of a little-known incident that had significant consequences for the course of World War I.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
