Críticas:
The sinking of the aged Argentine cruiser Belgrano - which as a US ship had survived Pearl Harbour - by the British nuclear-powered submarine Conqueror was the defining moment of the Falklands War. Here, author Mike Rossiter tells the definitive story of the act of war that became a political crisis and committed Britain to conflict. With access to the surviving crews of both vessels, Rossiter reconstructs the build-up to the deadly clash, from the political decision in Whitehall to send the Task Forces to the South Atlantic, to the military order which sent three deadly torpedoes into the Belgrano - taking 340 Argentine sailors down with her. --Naval and Military Press
The sinking of the aged Argentine cruiser Belgrano by the British submarine Conqueror was the defining moment of the Falklands War. This is the full enthralling story. --Chris Buckland
Reseña del editor:
The sinking of the aged Argentine cruiser Belgrano by the British submarine Conqueror was the defining moment of the Falklands War. This is the full enthralling story. --Chris Buckland
On the evening of 30 March, 1982, Commander David Hall, chief engineer of the British nuclear submarine HMS Conqueror received a telephone call giving him the order to ‘store for war’. At first he didn’t believe it. In the early hours of 2 April, Argentine forces invaded the Falkland Isles.
The sinking of the Belgrano was one of the most dramatic moments of the Falklands conflict. For many it signalled Britain’s entry into the war and it has been seen as a politically motivated decision deliberately designed to take the country irrevocably into the fight. Now Mike Rossiter – with unprecedented access to sailors from the Belgrano and HMS Conqueror – gives us a dramatic and definitive retelling of the events that led up to the sinking.
With all the pace and tension of a thriller, Sink the Belgrano takes us inside the battle for the South Atlantic and shows us the human drama behind the famous, and controversial, Sun headline ‘Gotcha!’ We track the collision course between the British submarine Conqueror and the Argentine warship – as the two sides and everyone aboard head towards the climactic moment just outside the exclusion zone set up by the British around the Falkland Isles. We witness the behind-the-scenes arguments , discussions and powerbroking that led to the decision to fire the three torpedoes. And, for the first time, we hear from the sailors on both sides – the personal testimony of the hunt for and attack on the Belgrano, and from the Argentine side the experience of being under attack and the sinking that left 340 members of her crew dead.
