This is a major new account of the Battle of Jutland, the key naval
battle of the First World War in which the British Grand Fleet
engaged the German High Seas Fleet off the coast of Denmark in
1916. Beginning with the building of the two fleets, John Brooks
reveals the key technologies employed, from ammunition, gunnery and
fire control, to signalling and torpedoes, as well as the opposing
commanders' tactical expectations and battle orders. In describing
Jutland's five major phases, he offers important new
interpretations of the battle itself and how the outcome was
influenced by technology, as well as the tactics and leadership of
the principal commanders, with the reliability of their own
accounts of the fighting reassessed. The book draws on contemporary
sources which have rarely been cited in previous accounts,
including the despatches of both the British and German formations,
along with official records, letters and memoirs.
