The Sinking of the Bismarck
William L. Shirer
Descripción
The famous war correspondent delivers an edge-of-your seat account of the naval chase and battle to take out one of Hitler's most powerful warships. The Bismarck wasn't just any warship. Its guns were much stronger and more accurate than any others in its day--meaning it could easily sink enemy ships without getting in range of their fire. It was one of Hitler's most powerful weapons, and the Allied forces had to put it out of commission--before they lost the war. With the fate of the world in the balance, Allied forces chased the Bismarck across the stormy North Atlantic--culminating in a thrilling sea battle that changed the course of World War II. Unfolding with the taut suspense of a blockbuster movie, this book brings the excitement and danger of World War II to younger audiences--and demonstrates William L. Shirer's mastery as a writer of history and a spinner of tales. "A book one reads with sustained excitement." --Kirkus Reviews

Acerca del Autor
William Shirer (1904-1993) was originally a foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and was the first journalist hired by Edward R. Murrow for what would become a team of journalists for CBS radio. Shirer distinguished himself and quickly became known for his broadcasts from Berlin during the rise of the Nazi dictatorship through the first year of World War II. Shirer was the first of "Edward R. Murrow's Boys"--broadcast journalists--who provided news coverage during World War II and afterward. It was Shirer who broadcast the first uncensored eyewitness account of the annexation of Austria. Shirer is best known for his books The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, which won the National Book Award, and Berlin Diary.
