From the publisher

The sinking of the HMS "Hood" on May 24, 1941 dealt a major blow to the British Royal Navy. Like "Titanic" years before, "Hood" had seemed invincible and much of the hopes of the Royal Navy rested with her as the nation entered the war with Germany. But in just seven minutes after an encounter with "Bismarck" and her consort "Prinz Eugen," HMS "Hood" sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic, taking the lives of 1,418 men with her. Author Andrew Norman explores the events leading up to the disaster and the legacy it left in its wake.

First line

A VISITOR TO HMS HOOD IN THE 1920S RECEIVED A SMALL booklet printed by Charpentier Ltd. of Portsmouth, from which he or she would have gleaned the following information about the great ship.
