Description:In the Royal Navy's first major engagement since Trafalgar over a hundred years earlier, in May 1916 a chance encounter with Admiral Hipper's battlecruisers had enabled Beatty to lead the German Battle Fleet into the jaws of Jellicoe's greatly superior force, but darkness allowed Admiral Scheer to extricate his ships from a potentially disastrous situation. Though inconclusive, at the Battle of Jutland the German Fleet suffered so much damage that it made no further attempt to challenge the Grand Fleet, and the British blockade remained unbroken. Captain Bennett has used sources previously unavailable to historians in his reconstruction of this controversial battle, including the papers of Vice-Admiral Harper explaining why his official record of the battle was not published until 1927, and the secret "Naval Staff Appreciation" of 1922 whose criticisms were so scathing that it was never issued to the Fleet. Also included are numerous battle plans, photographs and an introduction by Bennett's son. 2016 is the centenary of the battle.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
