It is almost a social history of those various crews who served on board "Hood" at various stages in her career, right up until the last few moments in the Denmark Strait. I would venture to say that this approach has never before been attempted but Mr Taylor's meticulous research brings it all vividly to life. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
"A wonderfully illustrated biography" of one of history's greatest warships whose sinking "signaled the end of the surety that Britannia ruled the waves" (War History Online). Unmatched for beauty, unequalled for size, for twenty years the HMS Hood was the glory ship of the Royal Navy, flying the flag across the world in the twilight years of the British Empire. Here, in words, photos and color illustrations, is the story of her life, her work and her people from keel-laying on the Clyde in 1916 to destruction at the hands of the Bismarck in 1941. Among the eyecatching strengths of the book is a unique gallery of photos, including stills from a recently discovered piece of color footage of the ship, plus a spectacular set of computer-generated images of both the exterior and interior by the world's leading exponent of the art--a man who worked with the film director James Cameron (of Titanic fame). A wealth of new information on Hood's structure and operation make it essential reading for the enthusiast, modeler and historian alike. Hugely successful from its first publication, this is the third printing of the ultimate book on the ultimate ship of the pre-war era. "The most comprehensive study of a modern warship ever undertaken."--Warship World No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
