Bitter
Victory: The Death of HMAS Sydney
by Wesley Olson
Book Description: On 11 November 1941, the cruiser HMAS Sydney
sailed from the Australian port of Freemantle on a routine escort mission.
Though scheduled to return on 20 November, it never arrived. Reports of
a sea battle with a German cruiser whose survivors were rescued from rafts
in the Sunda Straight added to the mystery that has continued to baffle
government officials, historians, and the public for over fifty years.
Author Wesley Owen re-opens the case in an attempt to answer the questions:
Why did the Sydney sink? How did it disappear without a trace? And why
were there no survivors? By examining every piece of available evidence
and carefully reconstructing the event through eye-witness accounts, Olson
has produced both a compelling narrative and the most persuasive explanation
yet for the mystery and tragedy of the HMAS Sydney. 436 pages.
