Amid the turmoil of the dying days of World War II, a series of ships were sunk in the Baltic, these terrible disasters adding up to be the greatest loss of life ever recorded at sea. Claes-G ran Wetterholm brings the horror of these tragic events to life in this gripping study, first published in Swedish, as he collates the unknown stories of four major shipping disasters, the most terrible in history. Combining archive research with interviews with survivors and the relatives of those who died, the author vividly conveys his experiences of meeting many witnesses to a forgotten and horrifying piece of history.
