[edit] Published Works section

Two books have been written about the sinking. Of the two, the more comprehensive is HMAS Armidale, the ship that had to die ^[1], a second revised and expanded edition called: HMAS Armidale Lives On ^[2] was published to coincide with the launching of the second Royal Australian Navy ship to carry the name, HMAS Armidale.

The other book on the ship, Armidale '42, a Survivor's Account ^[3], is by Don Watson, in collaboration with Colin Madigan one of the survivors. The book includes 10 sketches by the artist Jan Stenbergs, inspired by the sinking and subsequent heroic voyages to safety by many of the survivors.

I've removed this section from the article as the publication of books on a subject should not be a sub-subject of the article. These books should be used as sources for information, not advertised in the body of the article. -- saberwyn 11:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
