Black Saturday - The Tragedy Of The Royal Oak - Alexander McKee

Black Saturday recounts the devastating sinking of H.M.S. Royal Oak in Scapa Flow on 14 October 1939, when a German U-boat attack caught much of the crew asleep. Three explosions sent the battleship into a deadly list, trapping hundreds below decks and forcing survivors into the freezing, oil-covered waters. Drawing on survivor accounts, the book explores the chaos, courage and desperate rescue efforts, as well as the mystery and controversy surrounding the sinking and conflicting accounts of what happened.
