Contents

On Wednesday 10 December 1941, the third day of the war withJapan, two Royal Navy capital ships were sunk off Malaya by air torpedo attack.They had not requested the air support that could have saved them and 840 mendied in the battleship \"HMS Prince of Wales\" and the battle cruiser\"HMS Repulse\". Taking full advantage of British Second World Wardocuments and the Japanese Official History, the authors re-create for the readernot only what happened on that sunny morning, but also what it was like for themen involved. They dispose of several myths to explain what happened in thoseconfused hours, and address the uncertainty, controversy and strong emotionsthat surrounded the militarily disastrous sinkings and the tragic aftermath.
