Overview

The wartime loss of Australia’s pride, HMAS Sydney with all hands on board remains among the greatest riddles of modern maritime history, one that has teased authorities, naval experts and researchers for more than 60 years. This is a detailed account of how a chance brush with the past turns to deepening obsession; how an unschooled novice takes on an entrenched establishment, and often stuffy views, in a bid to help families of the 645 lost sailors win closure. McDonald’s struggle to piece together a labyrinth of facts, theories and, in many cases, elusive false trails makes for compelling reading in this densely woven account. Strange cryptograms, hearsay and new evidence from German survivors of the catastrophe add momentum to a tale of hope, disappointment, and contradiction.
