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. 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?
