Jutland

More than one hundred years after the battle of Jutland, the first and largest engagement of dreadnoughts in the twentieth century, historians are still fighting this controversial and misunderstood battle. What was in fact a strategic victory stands out starkly against the background of bitter public disappointment in the Royal Navy and decades of divisive acrimony and very public infighting between the camps supporting the two most senior commanders, Admiral Sir John Jellicoe and Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty. This new paperback edition has been completely revised and offers the best and most balanced account of the battle available.

La mai bine de o suta de ani dupa batalia din Iutlanda, primul si cel mai mare angajament de dreadnoughts din secolul al XX-lea, istoricii duc inca aceasta batalie controversata si neinteleasa. Ceea ce a fost de fapt o victorie strategica iese in evidenta pe fondul unei dezamagiri publice amare in Marina Regala si decenii de acrimenie divizorie si lupte foarte publice intre tabere care ii sprijineau pe cei mai inalti doi comandanti, amiralul Sir John Jellicoe si viceamiralul Sir David Beatty .
