Jutland the Unfinished Battle
-
This book no only re-tells the story of the battle from both the German and British perspectives based on the latest research, but it also helps to clarify the context of Germany's inevitable naval clash. It then traces the bitter dispute that ensued in the years after the smoke of war had cleared - right up to his death in 1935, Admiral jellicoe was embroilled in what became know as the 'Jutland Controversy', and arguments about the battle continue to the present day.
Nicolas Jellicoe is uniquely placed to tell the story of Jutland. His naval connections are strong: his father, the second Earl, served as First Lord of the Admiralty while his grandfather, Sir John jellicoe commanded the Grand Fleet for the first two years of the war from 1914-1916 - famously described by Churchill as being 'the only man who could have lost the war in an afternoon'.
