[edit] JUTLAND
A study of the Battle of Jutland, from the German point of view. The account is based on many official German sources and material, including private papers and reports from individual commanders involved in the battle. The course of the conflict is illustrated with action charts.
Such was the magnitude of the Battle of Jutland, 31 May to 1 June 1916, or the Battle of the Skaggerak as the Germans called it, that it has been written about, discussed and argued over by historians countless times. But most of the accounts available to the English reader are based largely on English records and official papers, which may not reveal the whole truth. The battle itself was a confused, rambling but desperately hard-fought conflict, dogged on both sides by bad luck, bad weather and bad communications. It was something of a pyrrhic victory for Germany since although the Royal Navy suffered higher losses in men and ships, the German fleet never ventured out of harbour to seek battle again. In this book, naval historian V.E.Tarrant creates a superb new study of the battle based on many official German sources and much previously unpublished German material, including private papers and reports from individual commanders involved in the battle. The course of the conflict is illustrated with detailed action charts representing ship movements and dispositions hour-by-hour throughout the battle. There are also drawings and silhouettes of all major ships and classes from both sides.
