The dramatic chase that ended Bismarck's final voyage
Gois Condition - Dust jacket is rubbed and foxed with worn/creased edges and small corner/spine-end tears. Book Club Associates edition, 1975.
Ludovic Kennedy reconstructs the pursuit of the German battleship Bismarck, following the events that turned its Atlantic operation into one of the Second World War's most dramatic naval episodes. The destruction of HMS Hood gave the British hunt a particular urgency, but locating and stopping the powerful ship required coordination, persistence and moments of extraordinary chance. Kennedy brings the movements of ships and aircraft together with the decisions of those directing the action. Attention to both British and German experiences gives the account a human dimension alongside its operational detail. Pursuit offers a closely told history of a brief, intense campaign whose outcome carried enormous significance for the navies involved.
