Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Sink the Bismarck (Hardcover)

I purchased this book from amazon in 2010. This book is one of the worst books that I have ever read. It was not related much to the ship Bismark. It was more of a novel. Much of the book included the experiences of two naval personnel that were not really part of the factual Bismark story. Sexually graphic writing was not appropriate for any children. When the writer eventually got around to the Bismark ship, It was not accurate. After this, I bought the book "The sinking of the Bismark" by William Shirer. I will rate Mr. Shirer's book as "excellent".
