The Last Nine Days of the Bismarck (Little Brown), also published as Hunting the Bismark (Michael Joseph) is a 1959 novel by C.S. Forester (1899–1966), the author of the popular Horatio Hornblower series of naval-themed books. Closely based on the actual sinking of the Bismarck, the novel includes fictionalized dialogue and incidents.
The Last Nine Days of the Bismarck tells the story of the breakout of the German battleship Bismarck into the Atlantic as a major threat to the convoys that sustained Britain in the early days of World War II and the Royal Navy's desperate pursuit and destruction of the Bismarck. Sink the Bismarck!, a movie based on Forester's book, was released by Twentieth Century-Fox in 1960, with the book reprinted in paperback under the title Sink the Bismarck! (Bantam, 1959) as a promotional tie-in.




Reception


Kirkus Reviews called the book "a thrilling tale of a running battle at sea."
