Thomas,
For a really good introduction to the Battle of the River Plate read Dudley Pope, The Battle of the River Plate. Have you seen the 1959 (?) film of the same name? This features two of the ships involved: Achilles, and the Cumberland (which arrived as a reinforcement after the action).
Regards,
David
