Pursuit:
The Chase and Sinking of the Battleship Bismarck (Classics of Naval Literature)
by Ludovic Kennedy
Book Description: With a new introduction by the author. First published
in 1974, this work remains in the forefront of the many books, movies,
and television programs about the epic World War II drama played out in
the stormy Atlantic. It is a thrilling firsthand account of the hunting
down and sinking of the battleship Bismarck, pride of the German Fleet,
told by a member of the Royal Navy's destroyer force who participated in
the pursuit. The author's own experiences add fire and immediacy to the
account that has come to be considered a classic by critic and general
reader alike. The world's largest warship when she first sailed into the
Atlantic in May 1941, the Bismarck was a serious threat to Britain's survival
and her sinking of the beloved battle cruiser HMS Hood with nearly fifteen
hundred aboard sent shock waves throughout Britain.
Determined to track her down, the Royal Navy engaged in pursuit, finding
the mammoth warship just hours from her safe harbor. The chess-like plotting,
the horror and heroism on both sides, the final apocalyptic action have
never been portrayed more vividly and objectively--and never with the benefit
of such detailed documentation from both British and German sources. A
measure of the book's epic qualities is that knowledge of the outcome in
no way lessens the tension. When she was sunk just days after her own victorious
action with the Hood, the Bismarck took more than two thousand German sailors
to the bottom of the ocean and with them the dreams of the German naval
high command. For sheer suspense, this book can hardly be equaled. For
carefully researched history, it is an admirable example of fine writing.
Ludovic Kennedy's introduction to this new edition places the event in
perspective for today's audiences.
