Jacket blurbs:

Jutland has produced more inconclusive controversy from historians and naval officers than any other modern sea-fight and yet no previous study has made more than passing reference to the action and damage reports, ammunition expenditure returns or described adequately the various destroyer actions.
The wealth of material available from both navies is highly detailed and required an historian of John Campbell's scientific background to comprehend its full significance. His painstaking analysis throws new light on a host of technical questions, like how individual ships stood up to punishment and the quality of each ship's gunnery, as a result of which posterity may have to modify its judgement, for better or worse, of certain naval officers and ship designers.
This book ignores the wider strategic and political issues - about which enough has been said already - but it is probably the clearest and most accurate description of what actually happened at the Battle of Jutland.

THE AUTHOR
Now retired after a career in the military electronics field, John Campbell has become a highly respected writer specialising in the technical aspects of naval history. He has contributed extensively to the Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships series and written two monographs on First World War ship types (The Queen Elizabeth Class and Battlecruisers). However, his particular area of expertise is weaponry and the impressive scope of his knowledge is most clearly to be seen in his encyclopaedic Naval Weapons of World War Two published recently.
