An account of the Battle of Jutland between the German and British fleets off the Danish coast in 1916. The author examines the events before, during and after the battle in which the Royal Navy lost three capital ships (Indefatigable, Queen Mary and Invincible), three heavy armoured cruisers (Black Prince, Warrior and Defence), eight destroyers (Tipperary, Shark, Sparrowhawk, Turbulent, Ardent, Fortune, Nomad and Nestor) and over 6,000 men. The author considers the relative technical strength of the fleets, leadership and decision-making. The text is illustrated throughout with photographs and battle maps. An appendix details the opposing fleets and principal commanders.
