Published with new material in time for the 80th Anniversary of the sinking of the Bismarck, Iain Ballantyne's Bismarck: 24 Hours to Doom is the harrowing account of the epic mission to destroy the flagship of Hitler's navy. 

'No ship is invincible or so perfectly constructed it is invulnerable to sinking - not the Titanic, nor the Hood, and certainly not the Bismarck.' May 1941: the world watches as the Royal Navy seeks retribution on the ship that sank the beloved HMS Hood. After a bloody chase lasting more than 1,700 miles, Britain's Home Fleet is finally closing in on the world's most powerful battleship. There will be a fight to the finish between more than 5,000 men of the Royal Navy and 2,600 servicemen of Hitler's Kriegsmarine. 

From tactical hits to shadowing ships, the mission to destroy the Bismarck was one of strategy and perseverance. In this tense and compelling narrative of the Action, we hear from the Royal Navy sailors who saw the combat up close.
