Great book, thrilling story and based on historical data., May 31 2007
By Juan P. Gonzalez "100% Chapín..." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sterling Point Books: The Sinking of the Bismarck: The Deadly Hunt (Hardcover)
The author of this book takes you thru all the details of the short-living Bismarck, the Hood and others.Before reading this book, I've never read any wargames books, nothing related to naval battles... but it's amazing how, literally, the complete british navy was behind the Bismarck and with determination to sink it under any circunstances...
Great book, a must read!
By the way, everything is based on historical data, it's not science fiction.

Nicely written and a quick read, Sep 5 2007
By L. Nathanson "WWII Buff" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sterling Point Books: The Sinking of the Bismarck: The Deadly Hunt (Paperback)
Shirer is a very good writer and keeps things moving and interesting, giving enough facts and information to understand who is who and what is going on (and where, which many books do not make clear). That said, it is a 'light' read. It took me only 3 or so hours to read it and I felt at the end that it had only touched the surface of the whole story. I would have liked more info on the major players, especially at British and German HQs. This book could have been expanded by half and it would have only made it better. I still highly recommend it.

Another Shirer Gem, May 6 2011
By William G. Howes "Readin' Fool" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Sterling Point Books: The Sinking of the Bismarck: The Deadly Hunt (Hardcover)
I consider William Shirer to be one of the great writers of the 20th century. If you like this you must read "Berlin Diary" and his autobiography which he wrote in 3 volumes. He did and saw more from the 1920's thru his death than can be believed. In this book he once again demonstrated his writing skills in telling the tale of the hunt for the Bismark and it's subsequent sinking. An excellent narative.
