About This Item
Woodstock and New York: Overlook Press, 2001. viii, 385 pages, illustrations, maps; 24 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Light edgewear to boards. Fine DJ. "Late in morning of May 27th, 1941, the German battleship Bismarck was sunk by an overwhelming British armada in a fierce battle that lasted ninety minutes. Admiral Gunther Lutjens, Captain Ernst Lindemann and 2,206 men of her crew were lost; only 115 survived." "Noted historians Bercuson and Herwig have uncovered much new information on the Bismarck, including a close examination of classified British and United States diplomatic files, only recently opened, revealing secret diplomatic maneuverings between Churchill and Roosevelt. This new information has allowed them to tell the full story of the Bismarck for the first time, from the key strategic decisions of the national leaders, to the gripping hour-by-hour account of the battle. This is history of the best sort, at once vivid and authoritative - the definitive account of one of the most dramatic and momentous events of the Second World War." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 8vo.
