After the Royal Navy's bloody high seas campaign to kill the mighty
Bismarck, the Allies were left with an uncomfortable truth--the German
behemoth had a twin sister. Slightly larger than her sibling, the
Tirpitz was equally capable of destroying any other battleship afloat,
as well as wreak havoc on Allied troop and supply convoys. For the next
three and a half years the Allies launched a variety of attacks to
remove Germany's last serious surface threat.
"A thorough treatment, including material from interviews with survivors
of their sinkings and the impact they had on the naval war in the
Atlantic."--Seapower
"The authors have woven Tirpitz's story quite well, and in doing so
explain the strategic implications and dramatic battles surrounding the
super battleship. Their book is an excellent study of an aspect of naval
strategy the Germans used with such aplomb . . . a welcome addition to
my library."--Naval Historical Foundation
