More than one hundred years after the battle of Jutland, the first and largest engagement of dreadnoughts in the twentieth century, historians are still fighting this controversial and misunderstood battle. What was, in fact, a strategic victory stands out starkly against the background of bitter public disappointment in the Royal Navy and decades of divisive acrimony and very-public infighting between the camps supporting the two most senior commanders, Admiral Sir John Jellicoe and Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty. This new paperback edition has been completely revised and offers the best and most balanced account of the battle available.
