Secrets of the Conqueror - Stuart Prebble

HMS Conqueror is Britain's most famous submarine. It is the only sub since World War Two to have sunk an enemy ship. Conqueror's sinking of the Argentine cruiser Belgrano
made inevitable an all-out war over the future of the Falkland Islands,
and sparked off one of the most controversial episodes of twentieth
century politics.

The controversy was fuelled by a war-diary kept by an officer on board HMS Conqueror,
and as a young TV producer in the 1980s Stuart Prebble scooped the
world by locating the diary's author and getting his story on the
record. But in the course of uncovering his Falklands story,
Stuart Prebble also learned a military secret which could have come
straight out of a Cold War thriller. It involved the Top Secret
activities of the Conqueror in the months before and after the Falklands War.

Prebble
has waited for thirty years to tell his story. It is a story of
incredible courage and derring-do, of men who put their lives on the
line and were never allowed to tell what they had done. This story,
buried under layers of official secrecy for three decades, is one of
Britain's great military success stories and can now finally be told.
