In the Wake of the Graf Spee (Hardcover)

This is a book for anyone wanting to know more about the before, during and after of the Battle of the River Plate, the naval tactics that were employed, the games of diplomacy, the honour of the captains and crews, and the ground-breaking technology involved. The book takes a balanced view of pre-war and post-war events that shaped those years and of Argentina's willingness to take the crew of the Graf Spee in and offer them refuge which proved to be beneficial to both communities.
