SINK THE BELGRANO
The Dramatic Hunt for the Argentine Warship

The sinking of the aged Argentine cruiser Belgrano by the British submarine Conqueror was the defining moment of the Falklands War. This is the full enthralling story.

The sinking of the aged Argentine cruiser Belgrano - which as a US ship had survived Pearl Harbor - by the British nuclear-powered submarine Conqueror was the defining moment of the Falklands War. Here, author MIke Rossiter tells the definitive story of the act of war that became a political crisis and committed Britain to conflict. With access to the surviving crews of both vessels, Rossiter reconstructs the build-up to the deadly clash, from the political decision in Whitehall to send the Task Forces to the South Atlantic, to the military order which sent three deadly torpedoes into the Belgrano - taking 340 Argentine sailors down with her.
