The author drew on a rare iconography and exceptional documentation, gathered over more than 40 years of research, for this quality monograph that will mark a milestone in French publishing.

The career of the Bismarck is detailed from its conception to its tragic end, and Patrick Toussaint explains all the technical aspects necessary for a proper understanding of the operations and battles.

Having collected the testimonies of the few survivors, he delivers here a vivid account of the final moments of the German giant. The technical aspects are not neglected, with well-stocked appendices, numerous 3D views (including some illustrating the inner workings of the behemoth) and tactical maps punctuating the narrative.
