Lieutenant Sethia is accused of a second crime: the theft of HMS Conqueror’s log books. Two journalists and the Serious Crime Squad try to hunt him down.
The Belgrano Diary is a new six-part series from the Documentary Team at the London Review of Books. Hosted by Andrew O’Hagan, it investigates the bloodiest and most controversial military action of the Falklands War: a story of government cover-ups and conspiracies; of whistleblowers, crusading politicians and journalists fighting for the story. And caught in the middle of it all, a young officer whose account of what happened contradicted Thatcher’s in every crucial detail.
We’ve brought a selection of relevant writing from the LRB archive – including pieces by Tam Dalyell, who plays an important part in the story – in front of the paywall for the duration of the series: lrb.me/thebelgranodiary
Episode 6, the last in the series, will be released on 2 May. If you’d prefer not to wait, you can listen to it now, as well as exclusive interviews and other bonus material, all for a one-off payment of just £4.99 at: lrb.supportingcast.fm
