With regards the Japanese attack on SS Augustina in Java Sea, March 1st 1942 (and subsequent massacre); for those of you well read (probably very well read actually) on WWII events / books, can anyone recall what the name of the book the attached pages may have been extracted from and / or the authour’s name.
Any help much appreciated!!
For those of you well read, a question please

“We are off to look for trouble. I expect we shall find it.” Capt. Tennant, HMS Repulse. 8 December 1941
“A review of the situation at about 11.00 was not encouraging.” Capt. Gordon, HMS Exeter. 1 March 1942
“A review of the situation at about 11.00 was not encouraging.” Capt. Gordon, HMS Exeter. 1 March 1942
Answered elsewhere i.e. "Japan's Blitzkreig" by Bernard Edwards, however…...
………. take no notice whatsoever of the highlighted lines in the pages I posted as that part is pure fiction, we discovered the wreck of Augustina south of Cape Puting Borneo, and just somewhat south of the wreck of USS Pope as a matter of fact.

Had found the name of book earlier, but had completely forgotten about that thread on other forum, or that I myself was even involved in it!Max wrote: ↑17 Apr 2020, 06:01Japan's Blitzkrieg by Bernard Edwards
