This superbly illustrated study explores the epic clashes of
British and German heavy cruisers at the beginning of World War II.
The opposing heavy cruisers of the German Kriegsmarine and the
Royal Navy engaged in a global game of cat and mouse during the
opening years of World War II. This was a period in which the heavy
cruiser still reigned supreme in open waters, with the opposing
sides reluctant to risk their battleships, and aircraft yet to
dominate the seas. These swift vessels fought each other in the
South Atlantic, North Atlantic, the frigid waters of the Denmark
Strait and the Arctic approaches to Russia, capturing the public
imagination in the process. This fascinating and beautifully
illustrated book examines the design, development and technical
performance of these opposing warships, and explores the clashes
between them at the Battle of the River Plate in December 1939, the
Christmas Day Battle 1940 and the Battle of the Denmark Strait in
May 1941. The ships examined include the Deutschland-class
Panzerschiffe and Admiral Hipper-class cruisers, and the Royal Navy
County- and York-class heavy cruisers.
