SNYDER, GERALD S. The Royal Oak disaster.
San Rafael, CA Presidio Press, 1978 0891410635 / 9780891410638 Hard Cover Very Good in Fair dust jacket
261 pages, 12 plates, map, cloth, slightly frayed dust jacket, otherwise very good. Book club edition. 261 pages, 12 plates, map, cloth, dj, very good. Book club edition. From the dj: The German submarine U-47 slipped over the cables that blocked the supposedly impregnable Scapa Flow, maneuvered within range of HMS Royal Oak and fired its torpedos. The battleship sank with the loss of 833 lives - one of the worst disasters in the history of the Royal Navy. Yet the audacity of the raid prompted a grudging admiration. Winston Churchill called it 'a remarkable exploit of professional and daring.' So unbelievable was the feat that some still insist that it must have been sabotage. For thirty years the real story remained hidden from the public by the British Official Secrets Act. With its expiration many British and German documents became accessible for the first time. The author makes effective use of this material to piece together the full story and to recreate the agony of the Royal Oak in its last moments. His extensive research, including contemporary accounts, official reports, the handwritten notes of most of the 424 survivors, and personal interviews with many of the men involved makes possible a minute-by-minute narrative of suspense, high drama, and extraordinary bravery.; Book Club Edition; 261 pages
