The Loss of the "Bismarck" by Graham Rhys-Jones
The battleship "Bismarck", flagship of the German Fleet Commander, was sunk by the British on her maiden voyage, 27 May 1941. By examining the role of high command in German naval strategic and operational decisions, this book shows how the disaster was probably the result of military strategy.
Graham Rhys-Jones was a Royal Navy aviation and anti-submarine specialist, serving in the Fleet Air Arm and in surface ships. He commanded a frigate when it was still fashionable to chase Russians. He held two appointments in Whitehall, and spent two years at the US Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, teaching strategy and operations to senior US and international personnel. He is now a defence consultant, and writes and lectures on maritime topics.
