Sydney, Cipher and Search: The Inside Story provides a fascinating and exclusive insight into how Captain Peter Hore solved the last great naval mystery of the Second World War. Going behind-the-scenes of a ten-year investigation, in this DVD the author himself tells us how he travelled the world to carry out research in dusty archives and museums, as well as interviewing key eye-witnesses to the November 1941 battle in which the cruiser HMAS Sydney II was lost, along with all 645 members of her ship s company. Peter Hore reveals how the trail of clues took him from the UK to Germany, South America and Australia, enabling him to clarify vital aspects in the investigation, including breaking a code that had remained a mystery for more than six decades. Covering some aspects not found in the book Sydney, Cipher And Search , this video companion, by 112 Productions on behalf of Seafarer Books and with a script by Iain Ballantyne - contains an absorbing main feature outlining Peter s odyssey to solve the mystery of HMAS Sydney s loss. The 56-minute DVD also includes five short modules in which Peter Hore provides further insights into how he cleared the fog of myths surrounding Sydney s loss. It is a tale worthy of detective fiction, only in this case what we find out in Sydney, Cipher and Search: The Inside Story is true.
