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.
