Jutland 1916, Clash of the Dreadnoughts
Charles London
The only major fleet engagement of World War I (1914-1918), the Battle
of Jutland (1916) has been surrounded by controversy ever since. The
British public felt Admiral Jellicoe had failed – a reaction rooted in a
hundred years of the 'Nelson cult', a conviction that anything short of
a Trafalgar-style annihilation was letting the side down. True, the
German Fleet had sunk more ships and suffered fewer casualties, but the
British had forced them to disengage and run for port and were still
cruising off Denmark spoiling for a fight. This title recounts in detail
how on an early summer's evening in 1916, the two fleets clashed head
to head: the events that followed would spark a polemic that still rages
today.
