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.
