Great Britain Editorial Review
Bismarck: The Final Days of Germany’s Greatest Battleship is a well-documented and organized read. The author wrote the book with good information, and not in a boring format. The book is primarily about individuals and their roles in the events leading up to the departure of the Bismarck and its goal of breaking out, rather than just boring facts. It is a compelling and interesting story, which details the sinking of the Hood and finally the destruction of Bismarck. The book flowed smoothly despite its large amount of facts and personal stories of both the Bismarck and the Hood. However, the terminology was difficult to understand at times, especially regarding directions, distances, and navigation. The Kindle edition had several misplaced words and phrases, and the maps and charts were almost impossible to use because they were too small and at low resolution. The author did a good job of keeping the readers' attention while sticking to the facts. The cat-and-mouse game played between the Bismarck and the Royal Navy is a fascinating read, but it took the lives of thousands of human beings, both friend and foe.
