The Bismark was the greatest warship ever built, with guns so powerful and accurate it could destroy an enemy ship while safely staying outside the line of fire. But the Allies had to sink it...or risk losing the war.

William Shirer, famed World War II correspondent and author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, captures every suspenseful moment of the perilous mission. Most tragic of all was the loss of the HMS Hood, the British Navy's star battleship, sunk by the Bismark in just minutes. However, a mixture of luck and new technology - including radar - turned the tide in the Allies' favor.

This may have been written for younger readers, but I found this an engaging account of one of the most famous sea battles of the second world war.

Some of the info was thought to be true in 1962 but not now. No U-boat actually arrived while the Royal Navy was rescuing German sailors.

Adults can learn from this book also.

Typical Shirer, tons of data and thorough detail. The reader isn’t particularly good, a poor choice IMO.

Highly detailed account
