Hunt the Bismarck tells the story of Operation Rheinübung, the Atlantic
sortie of the Nazi Germany's largest battleship in May 1941.
Bismarck entered service in the summer of 1940. She was well-armed,
with eight 15-inch guns as well as a powerful array of lighter weapons,
while her armoured protection earned her the reputation of being
unsinkable. This claim was finally put to the test in May 1941, when
she sortied into the Atlantic and fought the legendary battle of the
Denmark Strait, destroying HMS Hood, the pride of the Royal Navy.
Bismarck was now loose in the North Atlantic. However, damage sustained
in the battle limited her ability to roam at will, while the Royal Navy
deployed the Home Fleet to revenge the Hood. The stage was set for the
greatest chase story in the history of naval warfare.
Drawing on a wealth of first-hand accounts, and intertwining extensive
research into a fast-paced narrative, this is the most readable and
accurate account of Bismarck's epic voyage ever produced.
