Item description from seller

Hodder, 1998. Softcover (15 x 23 cm), 302 pages. ISBN: 0733609422. Very Good condition. Bumped, scuffed with some creases (predominately along front top corner and spine). Black & white photographs, illustrations, maps and appendices. "On 19 November 1941, the pride of the wartime Australian Navy, the light cruiser HMAS Sydney, fought a close-quarter naval battle with the German armed raider HSK Kormoran, off Carnarvon on the West Australian coast. Both ships suffered mortal damage and later sank. Although more than 300 German sailors were recovered from the water or captured when they landed on the WA coast, none of the 645 men aboard Sydney survived. This book offers the most thorough and comprehensive examination of that fateful event, which continues to arouse heated debate. Was Sydney's captain guilty of negligence by allowing his ship to manoeuvre within range of Kormoran's guns? Did the Germans feign surrender before firing a torpedo at Sydney as she prepared to dispatch a boarding party? Weight: 555g.
