Description
The engrossing but tragic history of the Royal Navy's worst loss of World War Two.Ideal for fans
of Jonathan Dimbleby, Max Hastings, and Craig L. Symonds.On 8th June 1940, the British aircraft
carrier HMS Glorious and her two destroyer escorts HMS Ardent and Acasta were sighted by the
German battle cruiser Scharnhorst and her sister ship Gneisenau. In a brutal gun battle that lasted
over an hour, all British ships were sunk and more than 1500 men lost their lives.Why had
Glorious left the main troop convoy to proceed independently? Why was she so lightly protected?
Why did British Intelligence give no warning that the German battlecruisers were close by? And
why were the survivors left in freezing Arctic waters for three days before being picked up?Official
documents do not answer these questions and so John Winton has drawn testimonies from men
who served on Glorious in the pre-war days as well as her very few survivors to understand how
this ship functioned both before and during the war, what happened on that fateful day, and why is
there still so much secrecy surrounding this heart-rending event.
