Bol On February 27, 1942, a hastily assembled multinational fleet steamed into the Java Sea to stop the Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies. By nightfall, the Allied force was shattered; its ships sunk, its crews lost, and with them the last hope for the Malay Barrier.Hand-drawn battle plans and staged maps follow the long afternoon action salvo by salvo: why Admiral Doorman's line turned when it did, how the Long Lance torpedoes found their marks in the dark, and what became of the survivors who fled south. Order-of-battle tables list every cruiser and destroyer of the four navies engaged, and the anecdotes come from the official historians-Morison, Gill, van Oosten-credited by name where they are used.Four navies steamed out together and almost none of their ships came home-this is how the Java Sea was fought, hour by hour.
