Description: Five vintage paperback fiction and nonfiction books of naval history. The Ship by C.S. Forester. Penguin UK, 1980. "The World War 2 masterpiece" called "One of the most vivid accounts of a modern battle at sea ever written" by the Sunday Times. Pages lightly tanned, crease on front cover. The Cruiser by Warren Tute. Ballantine Books, 1981. From the peaceful Caribbean to the war-torn Atlantic... From parties in Latin America to blazing drama in the Mediterranean... The magnificent life story of H.M.S. Antigone - the greatest symbol of naval power, the toughest ship in the world, The Cruiser. Pages lightly tanned, cover edge wear, no writing. Pursuit: The Chasing and Sinking of the Bismarck by Ludovic Kennedy. Collins / Fontana, 1975. Illustrated with photographs. One of the great sea sagas of all time. In May 1941 the German battleship Bismarck, then the most formidable fighting ship afloat, escaped into the Atlantic, posing a fearful threat to the convoys that kept Britain alive. She had to be sunk. "Vigorous, compulsively readable account of one of the great sea battles." Yorkshire Post. "If future generations wish to understand the reality of the Second World War at sea they could ask for no better guide than Mr. Kennedy." The Times Literary Supplement. Spine uncreased, edge wear to cover. The German Raider Atlantis by Captain Bernhard Rogge and Wolfgang Frank. Specially Illustrated Edition. Bantam, 1979. "She looked like a freighter but she was armed like a cruiser... the German raider Atlantis roamed the world seeking her prey... In this fascinating, firsthand account, Captain Bernhard Rogger tells how the Atlantis sank more than 140,000 tons of vital shipping and became the most feared ship on the high seas." Pages intact but binding split. The Last Raider by Douglas Reeman. Berkley, 1974. His greatest novel ever of the hell of naval combat! Pages tanned, creased corner on back cover. I add new listings daily and am happy to combine shipping. More Military & War Books will be carefully packaged and shipped in a cardboard box.
