Synopsis
It began with Pearl Harbor. Three days later, the new British battleship Prince of Wales and the veteran battlecruiser Repulse were sunk by Japanese naval aircraft with humiliating ease and at negligible cost to themselves. British naval dominance of the Far East was broken at a stroke. The Japanese fleet rolled inexorably on, to destroy an ill-assorted fleet of British, Australian, Dutch and American cruisers and destroyers of uncertain vintage. There was no defence against the ravages of the world's third largest navy as disaster followed disaster. This is a vivid and accurate account of a period that changed the face of warfare at sea and heralded the collapse of European colonial power in the Far East.
