The battlecruiser HMS Hood is one of the great warships of history. Unmatched for beauty, unequalled for size, for twenty years the Hood was the glory ship of the Royal Navy, flying the flag across the world in the twilight years of the British Empire. Here, in words, photos and colour illustrations, is the story of her life, her work and her people from keel-laying on the Clyde in 1916 to destruction at the hands of the Bismarck in 1941. Among the eyecatching strengths of the book is a unique gallery of photos, including stills from a recently discovered piece of colour footage of the ship, plus a spectacular set of computer-generated images of both the exterior and interior by the world's leading exponent of the art - a man who worked with the film director James Cameron (of Titanic fame). A wealth of new information on Hood's structure and operation make it essential reading for the enthusiast, modeller and historian alike. Hugely successful from its first publication, this is the third printing of the ultimate book on the ultimate ship of the pre-war. SALES Illustrations by Thomas Schmid. Foreword by Vice-Admiral Sir Louis le Bailly One of the most famous warships of all time The most comprehensive book on the ship ever published Full colour artwork and many previously unpublished photos AUTHOR BRUCE TAYLOR was born in Chile in 1967 and educated at the University of Manchester and at Oxford where he received a doctorate in Modern History in 1996. The book represents more than five years research during his time teaching history at the University of California, before his return to England.
