Epub Jutland

Two high-ranking officers defied the British Admiralty to tell the tale of World War I’s first naval battle against Germany.

During the first two years of World War I, Germany struggled to overcome a crippling British blockade of its mercantile shipping lanes. With only sixteen dreadnought-class battleships compared to the renowned British Royal Navy's twenty-eight, the German High Seas Fleet stood little chance of winning a direct fight.

Jutland, the largest naval battle of the First World War, was the most controversial engagement in the Royal Navy s history.

One hundred years after Jutland, the first and largest engagement of Dreadnoughts in the twentieth century,historians are still fighting this controversial and misunderstood battle.
