Presents a balanced account of the performance of the crews, commanders and theatre level command. Does a good job of explaning how (un)lucky the placement of the first torpedo hit on the PoW was. Based on events of the war to date, the use of these ships was not rash and uninformed, as tends to be the common judgement passed. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
The author of The First Day on the Somme recounts the sinking of two British Royal Navy ships by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. On the third day of the war with Japan, two Royal Navy capital ships were sunk off Malaya by air torpedo attack. They had not requested the air support that could have saved them and 840 men died in the battleship HMS Prince of Wales and the battle cruiser HMS Repulse. The authors re-create for the reader not only what happened, but also what it was like for the men involved. They dispose of several myths to explain the events of those confused hours, and address the uncertainty, controversy, and strong emotions that surrounded the militarily disastrous sinkings.
