In June 1940, after a disastrous campaign in Norway, HMS Glorious
was sent to the Norwegian coast to assist in the evacuation of
British, Polish and French troops. After several tense days, the
ship was on her way home when she encountered the two German
battle-cruisers, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. In a ferocious gun
battle lasting over an hour Glorious and the two destroyers
escorting her were all sunk. Drawing on Admiralty records and the
testimony of those who served on Glorious, John Winton reveals the
incredible human folly that led almost inexorably to this tragic
end, against a background of one of the most disastrous campaigns
of World War II for Britain and her allies.
