An interesting review of a little known event from WW2. The author provides great detail of individuals and their account of the sinking, as well as good factual material of how and why it occurred. A good read for any historical buff.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Stephen Wynn's The Lancastria Tragedy provides firsthand accounts of what happened during the lead up to the maritime disaster of June 1940 as well as the aftermath. It is a well researched book. I only wish we could find out more about those who were lost. After reading this book, I am even more determined to reading the materials that will be released regarding this matter in 2040. Is there any way we can petition to have them released sooner? Overall, this is an interesting subject matter, the writing is solid, and I give the book a 4/5. Thank you to Net Galley for granting my wish and sending me a digital copy.
