TURNER, David. The Ultimate Sacrifice: The World War II Battleship. 80p., illus. Ely: Melrose, 2004. ISBN: 0954848012.

Dedicated to the author’s uncle, Commander Woodrow-Clark, who did not survive the sinking. The book is a disorganised ragbag of press reports, ancient myths and survivor’s stories of the sinking with some small reference to the loss of other capital ships and the tale of his personal pilgrimage to Scapa. Republished as a larger volume in 2008 by Argyll Publishing as Last Dawn: The Royal Oak Tragedy at Scapa Flow, ISBN: 1906134138. Further editions of this title were published in 2009 - for the seventieth anniversary of the sinking (ISBN: 9781906134389) - and again in 2011 (ISBN: 9781906134761).
