Experiences of the momentous fleet battle of the Great War at sea
The narratives of the fighting at Jutland which are collected in
this book were all written by officers or men who were present at
the battle, and they are, therefore, first-hand evidence of the
detailed events of the fighting. The book is not a criticism; it is
a record of personal experiences. One has often felt that a great
gap would be filled in the histories of old-time naval battles if
one could read true stories of all the hundred and one personal
incidents of the fighting that must have occurred in the days of
old. Imagine the adventure that could be contained in a book truly
describing the fighting incidents of Trafalgar What an insight it
would give us into the character and courage of the men who served
Nelson. So this book of the Fighting at Jutland is an endeavour to
fill a like gap for the one fleet action of the War of 1914-18.
(From the Introduction) This book benefits from the inclusion a
useful supporting narrative of the action in detail and at large to
give the experiences of the individual authors context and to
clarify their role in the wider conflict, as well as numerous
photographs, illustrations, maps and diagrams demonstrating the
manoeuvring of vessels. Available in softcover and hardcover with
dustjacket.
