Subtitled 'The final days of Germany's greatest battleship', this book is a well researched account of Bismarck's brief naval career and how in 1941 the British Home Fleet hunted the pride of the Nazi naval fleet in the North Atlantic and destroyed her amid scenes of unbelievable carnage in which nearly 2,000 German sailors lost their lives. Highly recommended.rnThis book analyses the naval capaign in the Mediterrean during World War II, and studies the actions and performance of that theatre's five major navies, Britain, Germany, France, Italy and the United States. It looks at all perspectives of the entire campaign, especially Germany's largely unknown, and remarkably successful, struggle to employ its seapower in the area after the Italian armistice of 1943.
