Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has inscribed front blank endpage. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are also very good.
What did happen just off the Western Australian coast on 19 November 1941? Certainly a tragedy: 600 men were killed when the HMAS Sydney was torpedoed by a German cruiser; but why?
Olsen sets out to answer these questions, and in doing so, pulls apart the accepted theories about the causes of Australia's greatest maritime disaster. (Trove)
