American Boys by Louise Esola

Louise Esola is a good friend of the Association, and spent many hours talking with the survivors and loved ones of the Lost 74. This book is a fitting tribute to the men who lost their lives on June 3, 1969, and the Association truly values our relationship with Louise.

Books by Jo Stevenson

Jo Stevenson was the wife of Captain John Stevenson, who was the captain onboard the HMAS Melbourne on the night of the collision. Her books were an answer to the efforts to vilify her husband during and after his court martial, for which he was acquitted. She passed away in 2012, and Captain Stevenson passed away in 2019.
