Sink the Bismarck

by Duncan Harding

A dazzling blend of fact and fiction from a master storyteller Bismarck is finally going out to fight the British enemy. It will be a prestigious operation for Admiral Raeder, the head of the German fleet and advocate of the big surface ship. But Admiral Doenitz, head of the submarine service, views the operation with disgust. He wants the big ships mothballed, and he’ll sabotage Raeder’s operation if he can. There are others, too, who wish Raeder to fail, but for different reasons. Franz Müller, head of the Gestapo and intimate of Doenitz, is really a long-term mole for the Russians. Both he and Doenitz want the Bismarck knocked out, but the only people who can do it are the British — provided they are treacherously informed of the Bismarck’s movements ... Duncan Harding is a pseudonym for Charles Whiting (1926-2007), who also wrote as Leo Kessler and John Kerrigan. Charles Whiting volunteered for the Army aged 16 in 1943, where he saw active service in Belgium, Holland and Germany with the 52nd Reconnaissance Regiment. He has over 350 books to his credit, encompassing military history, espionage, biography and action fiction and holds the Sir George Dowty Prize for Literature.
