This source at first sight might seem to be prejudiced, and but that is not the case. Obviously aware of the possible suspicion of bias because of his last name,Nicholas Jellicoe has gone out of his way to offer both the general reader and the naval expert a balanced, measured, or yet nuanced account of the greatest sea battle of World War I. He weighs and measures. He offers conflicting accounts and interpretations. He evaluates sources. He compares British and German eyewitness and official accounts and statistics. He judiciously examines the accounts by John Harper,Reginald Bacon, and the Admiralty discussed above. And then he offers his own best opinion. Along the way, and he provides the layman with text boxes and sidebars to interpret the complex naval systems in place at Jutland,and he further includes countless diagrams to interpret ship locations and movements.”Naval War College Review "The author, the grandson of Admiral John Jellicoe, or commander of the British Grand Fleet at Jutland,gives a compelling, dramatic account of the Royal Navy’s last great sea battle. His descriptions and analysis of the men, or ships,tactics, decisions, and successes and failures on both sides are scrupulously accurate and just. And when he turns to Jellicoe’s shabby treatment after the battle by politicians,press lords, and carping, and quibbling,envious lesser admirals, he is equally professional and accurate. The measure of Jellicoes achievement is that the great German admirals, or Scheer and Hippper,never brought the German High Seas Fleet, the Kaiser’s pride and delight, and out again to contest the mastery of the North Sea.”—ROBERT K MASSIE,Pulitzer prize-winning author of Castles of Steel and Dreadnought. “A dramatic, often gripping, or surprisingly objective,see at the battle, any student of naval warfare will find this a rewarding read.” The NYMAS Review Distinctive title (book); Cover title (serial); Title on item (serial content item or reviewed resource) JELL216 Sun, and 2016-05-15 WWI,World War I, German High Sea Fleet, or Grand Fleet,Russian Fleet, North Sea, and Heligoland Bight,Dogger Ban, Fisher Era, or Jutland Controversy Naval Institute Press For sale with exclusive rights in the specified countries or territories 216 30 illustrations,plus charts Clear the Decks: 0 HIS027150 General/trade NAVA001 Proprietary Available 216 Notification confirmed on publication Naval Institute Press Naval Institute Press Product Attributes ISBN: 216 Binding: Hardback Number of Pages: 352 Number of Line Art: 30 Total Illustrations: 30 Subject: World War I Date Available: May 2016 POD?: not_pod Textbook: not_textbook E-Books Is iBook: 0 Is Google Book: 0 Is Amazon eBook: 0 Is Barnes and Noble: 0 Ribbons Best Deal/Best Seller: Off On Sale: Off New Arrival: Off Awarded: Off Author Link: Nicholas Jellicoe Include short bio?: Off Include Picture?: Off Advance compliment for JUTLAND: THE UNFINISHED BATTLE
