Place reservation for Scapegoat : the death of Prince of Wales and RepulseA radical new account of one of Britain's greatest naval disasters, this text makes full use of modern research and unrivalled access to private family papers, suggesting that Admiral Sir Tom Phillips, the commander of the so-called 'Force Z', was made the scapegoat for a battle in which he was blameless, and that Winston Churchill, the Admiralty and chronic failures in ship design and Intelligence were what sank the ships. It also shows what a very close run thing the sinkings were, and how Japanese success depended on them having luck on their side.
