Does anyone know if there has been a book published about Armed Merchant Cruisers 1914-18?

Try "Armed Merchant Cruisers" by Kenneth Poolman ISBN 0-436-37706-3

Half of this is WW1 AMCs

Hope this helps

Ebay but it's a bit pricey.

If I'm not mistaken, the book you posted Bob is a World Ship Society publication (I've met Dr Osborne in his capacity as Chairman before). The WSS is "planning" to sell their back copies of its own publications on abe books at a far more reasonable rate than other bookshops or ebayers would. Hopefully "Armed Merchant Ships" will be one of the ones they have in stock!
