A major volume on Jutland. "Vivid personal narratives... An invaluable record" - Marder. "This collection of reminiscences of the one great naval battle of the War is well arranged. The actual course of the battle if given in an appendix, & there is nothing dogmatic, no discussion of strategy or tactics, in this. Then the narratives are arranged according to the main episodes to which they belong: the battle cruiser action, the battle fleet action, & the night action. The stories themselves are of varying quality, as is to be expected, but the best of them are good, & the least interesting worth their place. The book does a great deal to humanise the battle & is a useful addition to the official accounts & the various critical examinations." - Falls. Orig. paper covd. boards with cloth backstrip, gilt to front & sp., VG. See illustrations on our website.
