JUTLAND

BLURB

A new account of one of the greatest naval battles of all time by a modern naval author. Viewing it after the passage of forty years, when the passion of controversy it aroused still excites students of naval strategy, Captain Macintyre brings out for the general reader the intense drama of this tremendous clash of arms between the two greatest sea powers of the day.

The rapid rise of the status of the German Navy in the years leading up to 1914, and the revolutionary development of the Dreadnought by "Jacky" Fisher, is brilliantly told. So also are the stories of the early skirmishes and clashes between the Royal and Imperial Navies in the 1914-15' period the bombardment of Scarborough and Hartlepool and the lively Dogger Bank action in which the battle-cruiser Bluecher was sent to the bottom.

The book includes fascinating glimpses of Winston Churchill, Prince Louis of Batten-berg, Beatty, Jellicoe and the German Admirals Hipper and Scheer.

One of the greatest destroyer commanders of World War II, Captain Macintyre, D.S.O. and two bars, D.S.C., brings a lifetime of naval experience and a gift of clear and forceful writing to his vivid and controversial story.
