More than thirty military operations failed to destroy it. Eliminating the \u003ci\u003eTirpitz\u003c\/i\u003e, Hitler's mightiest warship, a 52,000-ton behemoth, became an Allied obsession. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Hunt for Hitler's Warship\u003c\/i\u003e, Patrick Bishop tells the epic story of the men who would not rest until the \u003ci\u003eTirpitz\u003c\/i\u003e lay at the bottom of the sea. In November of 1944, with the threat to Russian supply lines increasing and Allied forces needing reinforcements in the Pacific, a raid as audacious as any Royal Air Force operation of the war was launched, under the command of one of Britain's greatest but least-known war heroes, Wing Commander Willie Tait. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePatrick Bishop draws on decades of experience as a foreign war correspondent to paint a vivid picture of this historic clash of the Royal Air Force's Davids versus Hitler's Goliath of naval engineering. Readers will not be able to put down this account of one of World War II's most dramatic showdowns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Bishop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621572900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621572909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Regnery History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.70w x 1.30d","brand":"Patrick Bishop","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46721549205759,"sku":"9781621572909","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79e0b3d9-a886-4174-b4ee-9c2de5666041.jpg?v=1742753197","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hunt-for-hitlers-warship-patrick-bishop-9781621572909","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
