Entry Text: RUSBRIDGER, James. Who Sank Surcouf? The Truth about the Disappearance of the Pride of the French Navy. xiii, 209p., bibliog., illus., index. London: Century, 1991. ISBN: 0712639756.

A fully researched work which destroys most of the myths surrounding the fate of Surcouf, lost mysteriously in February 1942 amid suspicions of her loyalty to the Allies. The author does add some new information about her loss, but broadly concludes that the official explanation is most likely to be correct.
