Lets see up to now I know of the following books on the subject
"Allied Secret:The Sinking of HMT Rohna" by Carlton Jackson
'Forgotten Tragedy' also by Carlton Jackson
'The Rohna Disaster' by James Bennet
the section on the incident in 'Joining the War at Sea'
There was also a resolution passed in the House of representatives
about the incident
This must be some new definition of the words 'secret'
and 'forgotten'. If you want another 'forgotten' incident consider
the loss of HMT Lancastria which was bombed and sunk
off St Nazaire with the loss of 3000 troops and 1000 civilians
in 1940
(One book about this sinking was also called "The Forgotten
Tragedy", In fact this title seems a rather popular one with authors
as I got about 100 hits on a search)
