Why Admiral-class histories should not begin with Hood's loss

Are there good books on the Admiral-class battlecruisers beyond the standard Hood studies?

The literature is limited, and many accounts are weakened by treating Hood's eventual loss as inevitable from the design's beginning.

Many books on Hood and the Admirals begin as though the final loss were preordained. That approach turns later knowledge into an explanation for every earlier decision. A better reading recovers the options, constraints, and uncertainty visible to the designers at the time. The exchange doubles as a reading guide and a concise lesson in naval historiography.
