The Loss of the Bismarck Book Description
The battleship Bismarck, flagship of the German Fleet Commander and one of the most powerful warships in the world, was sunk by the British on her maiden voyage in 1941. The author examines the flawed German strategy, the 1,750-mile chase at sea, and the Bismarck's final hours, when, surrounded by a dozen British ships, she fought to the last, taking 2,000 men down with her.
