In a ferocious gun battle lasting over an hour Glorious and the two destroyers escorting her were all sunk. Drawing on Admiralty records and the testimony of those who served on Glorious, John Winton reveals the incredible human folly that led almost inexorably to this tragic end, against a background of one of the most disastrous campaigns of World War II for Britain and her allies.
