On 13 October 1939, HMS Royal Oak, one of the British navy's top
battleships, was destroyed at the Royal Navy's main anchorage at
Scapa Flow, Orkney. The audacious attack, by a German U-boat, was
the first major blow against Britain of the Second World War. Over
800 lives were lost, including sailors as young as 14. This book is
a revealing account of the tragedy. Told through declassified
photographs and naval records, as well as statements from
survivors, it is a dramatic and moving reassessment of one of the
most shattering events in British naval history.
