Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 3
On 8th June 1940, the British aircraft carrier HMS Glorious and her two destroyer escorts HMS Ardent and Acasta were sighted by the German battle cruiser Scharnhorst and her sister ship Gneisenau. In a brutal gun battle that lasted over an hour, all British ships were sunk and more than 1500 men lost their lives. Why had Glorious left the main troop convoy to proceed independently? Why was she so lightly protected? Why did British Intelligence give no warning that the German battlecruisers were close by?

A lot of lists, not a lot of story
Revisado: 05-02-24
The book contained extensive lists of ships, air squadrons and locations. Much of the “story” reads like it came from ships’ logbooks - numbers and aircraft types in training sorties, times of day, weather, aircraft incidents, etc.
It just seemed light on story and heavy on facts that, for me, were not additive.
