Descripton: From the publisher: Renowned naval scholar Eric Grove reassesses the first British naval encounter of World War II--the Battle of the River Plate. This controversial story of risk and naval strategy has been told before, but Grove has unearthed previously unpublished sources to provide a definitive account of the battle and throw new light on the motivation of the Graf Spee’s captain.
