This book contains the official dispatches from two of the major commanders at the Battle of Jutland, one of the most significant naval battles of World War I. The reader will get a sense of the strategy and tactics employed by the British navy in the course of the battle, as well as a glimpse of the personalities and leadership styles of the two admirals. The dispatches are also notable for what they do not say--both commanders were criticized for not pressing their advantages more aggressively, and some historians suggest that the aftermath of the battle contributed to the ouster of the British prime minister. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in naval history or World War I more broadly.
