El Drama Del Graf Spee Y La Batalla Del Rio De La Plata

Millington-Drake, Sir Eugen: 1964 Buenos Aires, softcover with dustjacket 469 pages, with photo's and plans. This historical anthology compiles official documents, eye-witness testimonies, and personal accounts to reconstruct the dramatic 1939 naval battle between the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee and British cruisers in the South Atlantic. Compiled by the British Minister in Montevideo at the time of the events, the text provides an unparalleled, multi-perspective look at the tactical decisions, the subsequent diplomatic crisis, and the eventual scuttling of the vessel. In fair condition, shows signs of aging.
