Coronel and the Falklands by Geoffrey Bennett
The defeat that Rear-Admiral Cradock suffered at Coronel at the hands of Maximilian Graf von Spee was recognised as a severe and humiliating blow to British naval prestige since the 18th century. This is the story not just the heroism of Cradock, but also of naval incompetence and lack of forsight.
