On October 13th 1939 following a huge explosion in Scapa Flow, Orkney, one of the Royal Navy’s top battleships, HMS Royal Oak rolled over and sank. A German U-boat U-47 had silently penetrated defences and done its work. A total of 833 men died, including over 120 boy sailors some aged as young as 14. Last Dawn, now in its new third edition, is a revealing account of the tragedy. Told through declassified photographs and naval records, as well as statements from survivors, this is a dramatic and moving reassessment of the biggest loss of boy sailors in a single Royal Navy event in World War II. Already the subject of a TV documentary film, Last Dawn is now a text for the study of World War II in schools. |
