Torpedoed: the true story of the World War II sinking of the "The Children's Ship"
In September, 1940, while Germany was bombing England, the SS City of Benares set sail for Canada with over 100 British children and their escorts aboard. Uses many primary sources to detail the events of this ship (ended up being torpedoed by a German submarine) and the actions of the survivors in the days that followed (some at sea for eight days before being rescued).
