5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent account of a little known World War II disaster
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2018
Verified Purchase
An excellent account by a Naval historian with experience on similar ships and under similar conditions as well as the
second ranking survivour of the Curacoa disaster with appendices containing information from the Queen Mary by
one of her Officers since deceased who was serving on her at the time. This will probably be the go-to book on this
disaster which was a naval secret for three years and a subject of controversy over who was to blame
