I’ve read a few since the last time I posted but this is the current one. I’m 50 pgs in and it’s a good one!
I had this on pre-order and it arrived this week. I’ve included the contents page and the front piece.

On June 17, 1940, the British ocean liner, RMS Lancastria, was sunk during Operation Aerial.
RMS Lancastria had sailed to the French port of St. Nazaire to aid in the evacuation of British and French soldiers, civil servants and British civilians after the fall of Dunkirk. The ship was loaded well in excess of its capacity— the consequences of which were felt when a German fighter plane flew overhead and catastrophically attacked the Lancastria.
I little known maritime disaster that surpasses the suffering on the Titanic & Lusitania. Anyone with an interest in Maritime history should read this.
