4.9/5 (9407 ratings)

Description: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 Islands.On 4 April, HMS Conqueror sailed out of the Faslane naval base to begin her 8,000-mile journey to the South Atlantic. She was sailing towards war and towards one of the most iconic battles of the Falklands conflict, an encounter that would result in the torpedoing of the first warship since the end of the Second World War.When the order was given to sink the Belgrano, the British nuclear submarine began a cat-and-mouse game with the Argentine warship. Conqueror stalked the Belgrano for two days, sometimes sailing as close as fifty yards to the warship's stern before the torpedoes were fired.For the first time, we hear from the sailors on both vessels as they tell their own stories of the events of that day. We witness behind-the-scenes arguments and power broking that would culminate in the launch of three torpedoes from the Conqueror, and a vivid picture of the terror, confusion, and courage that marked the attack that left 340 of the Belgrano's crew dead. "Sink the Belgrano," written with all the pace and tension of a thriller, is the definitive retelling of those dramatic events.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
