| Summary |
"On 19 November 1941 ... HMAS Sydney fought a close-quarters naval battle with the German armed raider HSK Kormoran, off ... the West Australian coast. Both ships suffered mortal damage and later sank. Although more than 300 German sailors were recovered ... or captured ... none of the 645 men aboard Sydney survived. [This] offers the most thorough and comprehensive examination of that fateful event, which continues to arouse heated debate"--Cover |
